Effect of Drought Stress on Quality of Flax Fibres [PDF]
Materials, 2023 Global warming has led to a change in climatic conditions. Since 2006, drought has contributed to a reduction of food production and other agriculture-based products in many countries. The accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere has caused some changes in the composition of fruits and vegetables, making them less nutritious.

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.

Carbon footprint and energy use in jute and allied fibre production
The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2018 The study examines carbon and energy footprints of jute, kenaf, sunnhemp and flax fibre production systems. Energy productivity was lowest in flax fibre production as compared to other fibre crops. Flax fibre production consumed more chemical fertilizer,

Carbon fibres as potential bone implants with controlled doxorubicin release
Scientific Reports, 2022 This work presents the structural characterisation of carbon fibres obtained from the carbonization of flax tow at 400°C (CFs400°C) and 1000°C (CFs1000°C) and the thermodynamic and kinetic studies of adsorption of Doxorubicin (Dox) on the fibres.
