• Influence of drying on the mechanical behaviour of flax fibres and their unidirectional composites (2012, background): “Thus drying at 120 C for tens of minutes leads to complete water removal but also the loss of surface waxes [26].”
• Influence of the degree of retting of flax fibers on the tensile properties of single fibers and short fiber/polypropylene composites (2013, methodology): “According to Van de Velde and Baetens (2001), polysaccharides composing the fibers could be depolymerized between 200 ° C and 400 ° C, forming by-products themselves degraded at higher temperatures.”
