Furthermore, the flax fibre composites are reviewed in terms of tensile, flexural, and impact properties. Natural fibre reinforced polymer composites are used in structural applications for production of light weight components due to their high specific strength.

This paper exhibits an outline on natural fibers and its composites utilized as a part of different commercial and engineering applications. Flax fiber and its composites: An overview of water and moisture absorption impact on their performance. Flax fibres are amongst the strongest in the group of naturally occurring fibres (55 cN/tex and about 20% stronger in wet state), but they do not stretch much. Study on the mechanical properties and thermal properties of jute and banana Fibre reinforced epoxy hybrid composites. The already strong, durable base of flax fibre fabric is reinforced with a thermoplastic polymer matrix. Read honest and unbiased product reviews from our users.
