Comparative Evaluation of Physical and Structural Properties of Water Retted and Non-retted Flax Fibers

Flax stems of Modran variety were subjected to water retting under laboratory conditions and its physical properties were compared with non-retted fibers. Physical properties including percentage of impurities, weighted average length, linear density, tenacity and elongation were analyzed and the re...
