Production of Flax Fibers for Biocomposites

2011
Natural fibers for many and varied industrial uses are a current area of intense interest. Production of these fibers, furthermore, can add to farmer incomes and promote agricultural sustainability. Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.), which has been used for thousands of years, is unparalleled in supplying natural fibers for industrial applications as ...

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.

Variation of the reactivity of flax fiber cellulose in the course of flax ripening

Russian Journal of Applied Chemistry, 2008
Carboxymethyl cellulose ethers were prepared from flax fibers of various degrees of ripeness. The influence exerted by the degree of ripeness of flax fibers on their reactivity in carboxymethylation was examined. The rheological properties of aqueous solutions of the synthesized carboxymethyl cellulose were studied.

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

Wetting behavior of flax fibers as reinforcement for polypropylene

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science, 2003
The wetting behavior of several flax (cellulose as reference) and polypropylene fibers is characterized by measuring the wetting rates (penetration velocities) of a series of liquids using the capillary rise technique. This present paper aims to provide a deeper understanding of the complex nature of natural fibers and their surface properties.

Enzyme-retting of flax and characterization of processed fibers

Journal of Biotechnology, 2001
Enzyme-retting formulations consisting of Viscozyme L, a pectinase-rich commercial enzyme product, and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) were tested on Ariane fiber flax and North Dakota seed flax straw residue. Flax stems that were crimped to disrupt the outer layers were soaked with various proportions of Viscozyme-EDTA solutions, retted, and ...

Processing of Fiber Flax in Oregon

1951
Excerpts: Fiber flax is processed in the United States only in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Flax plantings there have varied from 18,000 acres in 1942 to about 1,000 acres in 1950. The 1942 crop yielded 2,000 tons of line fiber, which is about a third of the quantity imported each year.

QUALITY OF MODIFIED FLAX FIBERS

2007
When polycarboxil acid affects cellulose, a chemical modification of molecular and also of super molecular fiber structure occurs, making natural fibers modified in such a way that they become interesting for use in new textiles where they can substitute man-made materials on an equal basis. In this paper a chemical modification of flax fabric has been
