Development of 100% Linseed Flax Yarns with Improved Mechanical Properties and Durability for Geotextiles Applications

Due to the ever-growing demand for bast fibres technical and garment textiles, complementary sources textile flax, whose cultivation in western Europe cannot really be extended, need proposed. In this study, interest harvesting processing linseed flax straw is studied geotextile applications. The main critical stages of fibre-to-yarn production geotextiles were investigated. Different dew retting levels as well different all-fibre extraction processes investigated achieve objective. It was demonstrated that extracted from stems subjected 12 weeks using breaking rollers, thresher a card exhibited most suitable morphological mechanical properties. optimal converted into 100% yarns flyer spinning machine, properties biodegradability evaluated understand their potential geotextiles. These further coated with oil or chitosan enhance durability. observed coating better preserved yarn’s integrity over time, it permitted doubling service life potential.
