Abstract

Thanks to the good mechanical properties and the ecological and environmental advantages, the natural fibre flax offers good opportunities as a reinforcement material for composites, especially thermoplastic ones. One technique for the manufacture of composites on a continuous basis is pultrusion. This paper describes the possibility of the use of flax as reinforcement in thermoplastic pultruded composites.
