The Impact of Agave (Agave Tequilana) Powder on the Thermal and Mechanical Properties of PLA Bio‐Based Composites

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 ...

Applicational properties of reinforced plywood with nanomaterials and kenaf fiber

BioResources, 2023
Kenaf fibers were added as a reinforcement between wood veneers of poplar (Populus deltoides) bonded with urea–formaldehyde (UF) resin to improve the applicational properties of standard three-layered plywood. Additionally, the influence of two different nanomaterials (nanocellulose and nanosilica)-modified UF resins on the performance of plywood was ...
