Assessing the effect of fibre extraction processes on the strength of flax fibre reinforcement [PDF]
, 2015 A number of factors impede the direct translation of fibre properties from plant crop species to natural fibre composites. Commercially available fibre extraction processes introduce defects and degrade the mechanical properties of fibres.

Effect of particle size on the surface properties and morphology of ground flax [PDF]
, 2013 Flax fibers were ground with a ball-mill and four fractions with different size ranges were collected by sieving. These were tested for water sorption, degree of polymerization (DP), copper number, hydroxyl number and analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD),

FIBRE FLAX BREEDING FOR HIGH FIBRE QUALITY
Environment. Technology. Resources. Proceedings of the International Scientific and Practical Conference, 2006 The objective of flax breeding at the Upyte Research Station of LIA is to develop new varieties with a high yielding capacity, satisfactory resistance to lodging and diseases, as well of adequate quality to meet the demands of the textile industry. Two high yielding varieties with a good fibre quality ‘Vega 2’ and № 1547-11-7 have been developed at the
