Polymer Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Agave cantala, a natural fiber is considered as a densely packed colloidal system belonging to the general micelle system and the well known theories of KRATKY and POROD have been utilized to evaluate some macromolecular parameters of the scattering inhomogeneities in it. The small-angle KRATKY Camera of the latest design has been used for experimental measurements. The parameters evaluated are the specific inner surface, transversal lengths like the length of inhomogeneity and the length of coherence and the air fraction of the scattering particles in Agave cantala fiber; these were found to be
