Selection Criteria for Short‐fibre Flax
Plant Breeding, 1994AbstractThe industrial utilization of short fibres of Linum usitatissimum L. is advantageous for the environment and conserves natural resources due to savings in the production and waste management process. In 1990 a project was started to breed flax for short fibres in combination with oil production.

AN AGRONOMIC EVALUATION OF FIBRE FLAX IN SASKATCHEWAN
Canadian Journal of Plant Science, 1980Three fibre flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) cultivars, Hera, Natasja and Reina, and the oilseed cultivar Dufferin were tested at Hagen in 1977 and 1978 under rainfed conditions, and at Saskatoon in 1977 and Outlook in 1978 under irrigation. The tests included four rates of nitrogen fertilizer (0, 50, 100 and 200 kg N/ha) and three seeding rates (50, 100

Strength distribution of elementary flax fibres
Composites Science and Technology, 2005Abstract Flax fibres, along with a number of other natural fibres, are being considered as an environmentally friendly alternative of synthetic fibres in fibre-reinforced polymer composites. A common feature of natural fibres is a much higher variability of mechanical properties.

Growth and Preparation of Flax Fibre
1986This section of the presentations concerns recent work carried out at the European Research Centres under the Eurolin programme on flax and linen processing. It deals with the treatment of flax straw before, during, and after harvesting, and with the subsequent extraction and treatment of fibre.

54—The Determination of Lignin In Flax Fibre
Journal of the Textile Institute Transactions, 1955The effect of the concentration of sulphuric acid, and of variations in the period and temperature of the digestion, on the determination of lignin In flax fibre has been ascertained. For both wax-free and alkali-extracted samples, a digestion period of 2 hours at 20°C with 20 ml. of sulphuric acid of concentration 71.8 to 72.0 per cent (W/w) (sp.

The New Zealand Flax Fibre Industry
Textile History, 2009AbstractTextile fibre aggregates can be extracted from the leaves of Phormium tenax (New Zealand flax), a plant endemic to New Zealand and Norfolk Island. This research note, which was developed from N. M. Cruthers' Masters thesis, aims to review early trade between Māori and western settlers to New Zealand, the industrial development of a mechanised ...

Retting of flax and characterization of fibres
2014Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is an important commercial crop that supplies both linseed and bast fibres for multiple applications. Retting, which is a microbial process, separates industrially useful bast fibres from non-fibre stem tissues. Several methods (i.e., water- and dew-retting) are used to ret flax.

COTTONISATION OF FLAX FIBRES UNDER VARIABLE CONDITIONS
2004In most cases, flax is processed with the effort to obtain very fine fibres from coarse technical fibres. All the methods for obtaining fine flax fibres from technical ones are based on the same process: the cotonization, which consists of partial or total removal of pectin binding the elementary flax fibre cells into technical fibres.
