Discussion

Mechanical comparison reveals bio-composite shows superior tensile strength in henequen fibers, suggesting potential for structural uses.

Bio-composite exhibited an ultimate tensile strength of 72 MPa, outperforming the synthetic composite's 60 MPa.
Flexural modulus results were close, with values of 5.7 GPa for bio-composite and 5.65 GPa for synthetic composite.
Testing included tensile, flexural, and low-energy impact assessments to evaluate mechanical properties.
Scanning electron microscopy indicated significant fiber-matrix interface issues, impacting performance and durability.

Juárez et al. (2025) studied this question.
