Experimental evaluation of stiffness predictions of multiaxial flax fibre composites by classical laminate theory. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Despite the good mechanical properties of natural fibre composites, their use in load-bearing components is still limited, which may be due to lack of knowledge and confidence in calculating the performance of the composites by mechanical models.

Novel Insight into the Intricate Shape of Flax Fibre Lumen
Fibers, 2021 Plant fibres and especially flax can be distinguished from most synthetic fibres by their intricate shape and intrinsic porosity called lumen, which is usually assumed to be tubular.

Development of a smart farming tool to monitor the degree of dew retting of flax stems [PDF]
Scientific ReportsFlax fibres are a natural, sustainable product which have applications ranging from textiles to composite materials. A process known as ‘retting’ is required to facilitate the mechanical extraction of flax fibres from their associated stems.

Moisture sorption and swelling of flax fibre and flax fibre composites
Composites Part B: Engineering, 2022 Abstract This study evaluates the influence of moisture sorption on the properties of flax fibres and their composites. The radial swelling of both the elementary and technical flax fibres at a wide range of relative humidity (RH) values is determined.

A Review of Fibre Flax Harvesting: Conditions, Technologies, Processes and Machines
Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022 Fibre flax is a waste-free crop because a wide range of products is produced from flax raw materials (flax fiber, seeds) and its waste (flax shive).

The influence of stages of maturity on the agronomic traits of fibre flax introduced varieties [PDF]
Journal of Central European Agriculture, 2018 The harvest time of fibre flax is influenced by climatic conditions, varieties, stages of maturity and the crop’s final use. In addition, the time of harvesting of fibre flax affects the quality of the fibres. Fibre flax can be harvested in few stages of
