It was found that treatment of flax fibres may be required to improve the bond quality with a resin. These treatments also have an impact on the properties of the fibres themselves. The objective of this project was to evaluate the impact of three treatment methods on the mechanical properties of flax fibres. The three treatment methods were alkaline, enzyme and steam-heat. After treatment, flax fibres were tested in tension using a universal test machine. Results showed that tensile strength and Young's modulus of flax fibre can be enhanced significantly by the three treatment methods, compared with untreated flax fibres. Enzyme treatment was shown to be the best approach to improve mechanical properties of flax fibre than alkaline and steam-heat treatment. 关 键 词：Fibres Strength CRACK HEAT treatment ALKALINE ENZYME
