Abstract
AbstractVarious macromolecular parameters of Agave sisalana (sisal) fiber were investigated by the low‐angle x‐ray scattering method. The well known Kratky camera of the latest design was utilized for the experimental measurements. The sample studied was a densely packed colloidal system belonging to a general micelle system, and the theories of Kratky and Kratky and Porod were utilized to estimate the parameters. Pore analysis of the substance yields a value for the specific inner surface of the dispersed phase of 0.406 × 10−1 m2/cm3; the transversal length is the same as the length of inhomogeneity, 107.31 Å, and the length of coherence is 342.21 Å. The air fraction of the scattering particles was found to be 0.01%.
