Characterizing flax fiber reinforced bio-composite under monotonic and cyclic tensile loading

Composite structures, 2021
Traditional composites such as glass and carbon fiber reinforced polymers (G- and CFRP) can be effectively approximated to linear-elastic materials with brittle failure in most of the cases.

A Review of Flax Fiber Reinforced Thermoset Polymer Composites: Thermal-Physical Properties, Improvements and Application

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2021
Flax is the strongest natural fiber used as reinforcement for polymer-based composites due to its ecological properties, low specific gravity, renewability, biodegradability, recyclability besides its high mechanical properties.

Flax fiber surface modifications: Effects on fiber physico mechanical and flax/polypropylene interface properties

Polymer Composites, 2005
AbstractThis study arises on the opportunities of using flax fibers as reinforcement for polypropylene (PP) matrix composites. For this purpose, untreated flax fiber bundles obtained by a retting process have been used. For improving compatibility between flax fiber bundles and PP matrix, fiber surface treatments such as maleic anhydride, maleic ...

Oxidative Delignification of Flax Fiber

Russian Journal of Applied Chemistry, 2003
Oxidative delignification of flax fiber at 98°C was studied. The intermediate material was produced in moderate yield with high degree of delignification. The optimum conditions of the process were determined.

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.
