Abstract

In Mexico, agave constitutes a natural waste that comes from many different industries. This situation creates an opportunity area for the research, exploitation, and use of these agro-industrial wastes. Present work compared color, mechanical, and functional properties of PVA/cellulose/Alginate, PVA/cellulose/chitosan, and PVA films. Milox process and high-energy ball milling were used to purify agave waste for the later obtaining of cellulose nanoparticles (CNP). Addition of CNP to the films reinforced and increased the tensile strength of them.
