The renaissance of flax fibers

Reinforced 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

Locus-specific view of flax domestication history [PDF]

, 2011
Crop domestication has been inferred genetically from neutral markers and increasingly from specific domestication-associated loci. However, some crops are utilized for multiple purposes that may or may not be reflected in a single domestication ...

Genomic variations and association study of agronomic traits in flax

BMC Genomics, 2018
Background Flax (Linum usitatissimum. L) is an ancient oilseed and natural fiber crop. It could be divided into three categories by use, namely oil flax, fiber flax and oil-fiber dual purpose (OF).

Infrared Spectroscopy of Fiber Flax

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2010
Comparative analysis of the presented IR-spectrums has shown a presence of some quantity of pectins, hemicelluloses, and lignin in the fibers obtained by various methods of stem processing of studied long-fibered flax cultivars. This fact can be because they are not only a part of intercellular layers but also located in fiber walls.

Circular Transformation in the Silk Sector: A Fuzzy Delphi–DEMATEL Analysis of Critical Factors

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The circular transformation in the silk industry is crucial for enhancing resource efficiency and minimizing waste. Despite growing interest in circularity within the textile sector, the silk industry remains underexplored. This study addresses this gap by systematically assessing the barriers and enablers influencing circular economy adoption

Effect of Ammonium Polyphosphate/Silicate Content on the Postfire Mechanics of Epoxy Glass‐Fiber Composites Using Facile Chocolate Bar‐Inspired Structures

Fire and Materials, Volume 49, Issue 3, Page 329-346, April 2025.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the postfire mechanical properties of epoxy glass‐fiber reinforced composites (EP GFRCs) using increasing concentrations of ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and inorganic silicate (InSi) to modify the char and fire residue.

Manufacturing Of Robust Natural Fiber Preforms Utilizing Bacterial Cellulose as Binder [PDF]

, 2014
We present a novel method of manufacturing rigid and robust short natural fiber preforms using a papermaking process. Bacterial cellulose acts simultaneously as the binder for the loose fibers and provides rigidity to the fiber preforms.
