Mechanical analysis of elementary flax fibre tensile properties after different thermal cycles

TL;DR: In this article, a specific analysis was conducted to identify the three different types of mechanical behaviours and study the fiber performances according to the thermal treatments, and the microfibrillar realignment process was carefully studied thanks to an analysis of the tangent Young's modulus.
