| Popis: | Ligno-cellulosic fibers are abundantly present in a diverse flora. Bromeliaceae is considered one of the most prominent vegetable family in terms of the availability of these fibrous plants, making for excellent textile leaf fibers. The objective of this work is to present a preliminary physicochemical characterization of the Brazilian-native Aechmea Bromeliifolia fiber. The fibers were manually extracted from the species’ leaves to be studied in terms of their physical and chemical structure, and mechanical behavior. The results were compared to known fibers in the textile industry, identifying the fiber’s potential for textile application. Nevertheless, further study is needed for property optimization and the improvement of extraction and treatment methods.
