Characterization of polypropylene composites reinforced with flax fibers treated by mechanical and alkali methods
Flax is a type of natural fiber widely used as reinforcing materials for polymer composites. The commercially available flax fibers in Canada consist of a significant amount of shive and other impurities, which could act as stress concentration regions to negatively affect the mechanical property of...
