Grafting of nano-TiO2 onto flax fibers and the enhancement of the mechanical properties of the flax fiber and flax fiber/epoxy composite

Composites Part A: Applied Science and Manufacturing, 2015
Abstract In this article, a flax fiber yarn was grafted with nanometer sized TiO2, and the effects on the tensile and bonding properties of the single fibers and unidirectional fiber reinforced epoxy plates were studied. The flax fiber yarn was grafted with nanometer sized TiO2 through immersion in nano-TiO2/KH560 suspensions under sonification.

Utilization of flax fibers for biomedical applications

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part B: Applied Biomaterials, 2013
AbstractOver the past decades, a large number of animal‐derived materials have been introduced for several biomedical applications. Surprisingly, the use of plant‐based materials has lagged behind. To study the feasibility of plant‐derived biomedical materials, we chose flax (Linum usitatissimum).

Identification of Natural Bamboo Fibers and Flax Fibers

Advanced Materials Research, 2013
In this paper, the method based on the testing of the Fourier transform near infrared (NIR) spectra is proposed to identify natural bamboo fibers and flax fibers. The discrimination models between natural bamboo fibers and flax fibers are established by means of Ward’s algorithm and Hierarchical Cluster Analysis after the first derivative and vector ...

Effect of flax fiber content on polylactic acid (PLA) crystallization in PLA/flax fiber composites

Iranian Polymer Journal, 2017
Crystallization of polylactic acid (PLA) has a profound effect on its thermal stability and mechanical properties. However, almost no crystallization occurs in actual injection molding process due to rapid cooling program. In this paper, flax fiber was employed as nucleator to enhance the crystallization capability of PLA. Effects of flax fiber content

Fiber flax in oregon

Economic Botany, 1949
Russia, Poland and the Baltic countries account for about 90% of the world’s production of fiber flax, and prior to 1940, 90% of the raw fiber used in the United States was imported from Europe. Today domestic production in the Willamette Valley of Oregon represents a $3 million dollar industry.

Investigations of the flax fiber/thermoplastic polyurethane eco‐composites: Influence of isocyanate modification of flax fiber surface

Polymer Composites, 2015
In this study, alkali and isocyanate surface modifications were applied to flax fiber (FF) to improve its adhesion to bio‐based thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) matrix. In addition to these treatments, isocyanate treated FF was subjected to curing process.
