Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 10, October 2026.This study investigated PLA composites containing untreated agave powder (3–20 wt.%) as a proof‐of‐concept baseline for evaluating the effect of filler content on material performance. Low AP contents (3–5 wt.%) largely preserved the main thermal degradation behavior of PLA, whereas higher contents shifted degradation toward lower temperatures ...
