Effect of Fiber Waviness on Tensile Strength of a Flax-Sliver-Reinforced Composite Material by Taweesak Piyatuchsananon, Akira Furuya, Baosheng Ren, Koichi Goda

“…Recently, a composite material made from natural fibers and biodegradable resin, “green composite,” is attracting attention as an alternative composite material for the replacement of glass fiber-reinforced plastics. Plant-based natural fibers such as kenaf and flax have already been used as composite reinforcement materials because they are more environmentally friendly and costless fibers than artificial fibers. …”
