In this study, acrylated epoxidized flaxseed oil (AEFO) resin is synthesized from flaxseed oil, and flax fiber reinforced AEFO biocomposites is produced via a vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding technique. Different amounts of flax fiber and styrene are added to the resin to improve its mechanical and physical properties. Both flax fiber and styrene improve the mechanical properties of these biocomposites, but the flexural strength decreases with an increase in styrene content. The mass increase during water absorption testing is less than 1.5% (w/w) for all of the AEFO-based biocomposites. The density of the AEFO resin is 1.166 g/cm 3 , which increases to 1.191 g/cm 3 when reinforced with 10% (w/w) flax fiber. The flax fiber reinforced AEFO-based biocomposites have a maximum tensile strength of 31.4 6 1.2 MPa and Young's modulus of 520 6 31 MPa. These biocomposites also have a maximum flexural strength of 64.5 6 2.3 MPa and a flexural modulus of 2.98 6 0.12 GPa.

“…Physical and chemical methods can be used to optimize this interface. These modification methods are of different efficiency for the adhesion between the matrix and fiber (Cappelletto 2000). Different treatments of flax fibers aimed at improving the adhesion with a polymer matrix may alter not only the fiber surface properties but also fiber strength (Joffe 2003).…”

Flax fibres are oftenly used for reinforcing thermoplastic to manufacture biocomposite materials exhibiting numerous advantages such as high mechanical properties, low density and biodegradability. The mechanical properties of a biocomposite material depends on the nature and orientation of the fibres, the nature of the matrix and mainly on the adhesion between fiber and the polymer matrix. The main problem with these natural fiber is poor compatability and hydrophilic nature. Therefore, the fiber is needed to be chemically treated to reduce water absorption, enhancing adhesion between fiber and polymer matrix. For selecting most suitable thermoplastic polymer for a certain application, the properties of the available polymers is needed to known. Since data tend to be widely scattered over many sources, it is the purpose of this paper to give an overview of the most relevant properties of flax, thermoplastic polymers and various chemical treatment and processing techniques adopted for developing a range of thermoplastic biocomposite.
