Natural Crossing in Fiber Flax

open access: yesJapanese Journal of Crop Science, 1959
Fiber flax belongs to self-pollinating plant, but in the flowering period flowers are usually visited by many kind of insects such as honey bees, Bombus spp., Megachile spp., hover flies, butterflies, etc. The investigation was carried out from 1954 to 1957 to know how many extent viable foreign pollen will be brought and how many natural crossing will

Cannabinoid-like anti-inflammatory compounds from flax fiber [PDF]

open access: yesCellular and Molecular Biology Letters, 2012
AbstractFlax is a valuable source of fibers, linseed and oil. The compounds of the latter two products have already been widely examined and have been proven to possess many health-beneficial properties. In the course of analysis of fibers extract from previously generated transgenic plants overproducing phenylpropanoids a new terpenoid compound was ...

The Role of Cold Atmospheric Plasma in Surface Modification and Adhesion Behavior of Polypropylene/Flax Biocomposites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Effects of plasma surface treatment on adhesive bonding of PP/flax biocomposites. ABSTRACT The emphasis on environmental sustainability has accelerated the adoption of biocomposites as alternatives to synthetic composites. However, their low surface energy may limit adhesion in bonding applications.

The renaissance of flax fibers

open access: yesReinforced Plastics, 2018
Once upon a time all materials were naturally sourced. Now that natural fibers have lost a lot of their traditional market shares to synthetic fibers, they are gearing up to conquer new markets: yarns and fabrics are being tailored to the reinforced plastics industry. Flax is a promising natural fiber. It is relatively stiff and strong. And because it

On the Mechanical and Thermal Behavior of PLA, PBAT, and PHBV‐Based Ternary Blends and the Effect of Short Flax Fibers as Reinforcing Agents

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Preparation and testing of biodegradable polymer ternary blends and composites with short flax fibres. ABSTRACT Bioplastics offer environmental benefits but they are costly and exhibit lower mechanical and thermal performance compared to fossil‐based counterparts. Poly(butylene adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT) exhibits high ductility but relatively low

The NAC transcription factor LuNAC61 negatively regulates fiber development in flax (Linum usitatissimum L.)

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Agriculture
Flax is a crucial fiber crop that exhibits excellent textile properties and serves as a model plant for investigating phloem fiber development. The regulation of multiple genes significantly influences fiber development, notably involving NAC (NAM, ATAF1/

Miniature Spinning Enzyme-Retted Flax Fibers

open access: yesJournal of Natural Fibers, 2009
Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) fibers can be blended with other short staple fibers, such as cotton (Gossypium barbadense L. or Gossypium hirsutum L.), processed into a yarn, and then manufactured into a fabric. Enzyme-retting is a new, experimental method that decomposes the pectinaceous and matrix substances to separate cellulose fibers from shives ...
