Influence of processing and chemical treatment of flax fibres on their composites
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of the flax processing parameters, and consequently of the fibre properties, on the mechanical properties of flax fibre reinforced epoxy composites was pointed out, and a treatment consisting of a combination of alkali and dilute epoxy gave the highest improvement of the flexural properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving the properties of UD flax fibre reinforced composites by applying an alkaline fibre treatment
TL;DR: In this article, a simple but effective fiber treatment (i.e., alkalization) was proposed to enable a better adhesion between flax fibres and epoxy matrix.
