Effect of flax fibres individualisation on tensile failure of flax/epoxy unidirectional composite (2013, background): “[44] highlighted that the cell walls of the outer fibres in the bundle became thickened first, the thickening of the other cell walls proceeded simultaneously in all fibres, and lasted till the maturity of the plant, taking around 2 months.”
Plant Fiber Formation: State of the Art, Recent and Expected Progress, and Open Questions (2012, background): “…related to the cessation of fiber elongation because primary phloem fibers of flax and hemp were shown to remain without any secondary cell wall formation for up to two weeks after they had ceased their intrusive elongation (Gorshkova et al., 2003; Ageeva et al., 2005; Snegireva et al., 2010).”
Variability of mechanical properties of flax fibres for composite reinforcement. A review (2020, background): “Above this point the stem is flexible, while below it is stiff (Gorshkova et al., 2003)(Goudenhooft et al., 2019b).”
