Influence of field retting duration on the biochemical, microstructural, thermal and mechanical properties of hemp fibres harvested at the beginning of flowering

Abstract: The use of hemp fibres as reinforcements in polymer composites requires a thorough understanding of the hemp fibres transformation processes to obtain a constant quality. In this context, the upstream processing termed field retting is considered. Retting allows a subsequent fibre separation from the plant stems by degradation of cementing compounds by microorganisms. This operation depends on weather conditions and is currently empirically carried out in fields, so that a large variability in the hemp fibres … Show more

“…Hemp (Cannabis sativa L., Cultivar 'Santhica 27') was sown at rate of 35 kg/ha on 6 May 2016 in the south of France (N 44.130673 • , E 4.315895 • ) by CIVAM Chanvre Gardois [22]. The hemp plants were harvested manually using a shear at three growth stages (beginning of flowering (BF), end of flowering (EF), seed maturity (SM)) ( Figure 1).…”

“…Table 1 presents the retting duration and corresponding samples for each selected growth stage. Since morphological feature, chemical composition and mechanical properties depend on hemp stem sections [1,23,24], only the middle part of the stem was investigated [22] in order to limit the dispersion of the results. Table 1.…”
