“…According to the Nova Institute and FNR, flax usage as a reinforcement material for composites in engineering, furniture, consumer goods, and automotive applications has increased significantly since 2012 [ 15 ]. Composites containing natural fibers are lighter, and as a result, a car built with such material consumes less energy while driving, while emitting less pollution [ 16 , 17 ].…”

The main purpose of the article is to present the possibilities of producing composite reinforcement with the use of a computer embroidery machine. The study below presents the results of strength tests of composites containing technical embroidery, woven fabric, and UD fabric as the reinforcement. Each of the samples was made of the same material—flax roving. The samples differed from each other in the arrangement of layers in the reinforcement. The composites were made using the infusion method with epoxy resin. The embroidery was made on a ZSK embroidery machine, type JCZA 0109-550. A total of 12 types of composites were produced and tested. The test material was subjected to strength tests—tensile strength, tensile elongation, and shear strength, on the INSTRON machine. As the research showed, the use of technical embroidery as a composite reinforcement increases its tensile strength. Furthermore, the use of embroidery is a vertical reinforcement of the composite and prevents the formation of interlayer cracks. The technology of technical embroidery allows for optimizing the mechanical values of the composite reinforcement.

“…Additionally, the cultivation of fl ax is more environmentally friendly than the production of chemical fi bers. The main disadvantage of fl ax fi bers is high hygroscopicity; however, fl ax exhibits increased wet strength compared to the dry state [10][11][12][13].…”

The main purpose of the article is to present the new possibilities of producing composite reinforcement with the use of a computer embroidery machine. This kind of production is in line with the principles of sustainable development. The study below presents the results of strength tests of composites containing sevenfold embroidery systems. Each variant included different directions of arrangement of individual layers as a reinforcement. Flax roving was used to strengthen the composite. Flax fibers are characterized by the highest strength among all-natural fibers, at the level of 50–80 cN/tex. The composite was made using the vacuum bag method, using epoxy resin. The embroidery was made on a ZSK embroidery machine, type JCZA 0109-550. The test material was subjected to strength tests—tensile strength, tensile elongation, and bending strength, on the INSTRON machine. Based on the research, it can be concluded that the arrangement of the roving in the direction of the tensile force allowed to obtain the best mechanical properties.
