“…There are many natural fibers types reinforcing composites, almost any country has its own natural fibers. Many of them have shown promising applications in engineering, such as fique, 8 curaua, 9 Cyperus malaccensis Sedge, 10 pineapple 11 and banana fibers. 12 However, none of these fibers shows a 3 D architecture as luffa fiber, 13 which is the object of this research.…”

“…Figure 2a shows that fibers are typically 100 to 300μm in diameter and very porous, which is common to many natural fibers (Neves Monteiro, Salgado de Assis, Ferreira, Tonini Simonassi, Pondé Weber, Souza Oliveira, Colorado & Camposo Pereira, 2018). This means they can be used in a positive way for applications such as those needing water retention (Raghavendra, Swamy, Rastogi, Raghavarao, Kumar & Tharanathan, 2006) and low density composites (Teles, Altoé, Amoy, Netto, Colorado, Margem & Monteiro, 2015). Figure 2b, reveals details of the porous structure, with some semi-hexagonal tubes of about 10μm diameter.…”

“…They withstand a temperature of about 220⁰C. The tensile strength is around 237MPa and the diameter of fique fibers vary from 0.06 to 0.26mm [12]. Henequen fibers are used for making ropes and twines.…”
