Effect of Moisture in Flax Fibres on the Quality of their Composites
Journal of Natural Fibers, 2019 Moisture present in plant fibres is considered to be detrimental to the performance of composites. In general, a drying stage is performed on the plant fibre fabrics before manufacturing the composites since it is seemed to allow better output. This work

NATURAL FIBRE COMPOSITES: A REVIEW ON FLAX FIBRES [PDF]
Annals of the University of Oradea: Fascicle of Textiles, Leatherwork, 2017 In the composite industry, generally glass and carbon fibres are most widely used materials because of their high strength to weight ratio. On the other hand, in recent years, the use of natural fibres as reinforcement in composites have shown some ...

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.
