RESEARCH ON STRUCTURE AND PROPERTY OF OIL FLAX FIBER

In this paper investigations of the macromolecular chain structure, crystalline andmorphological structure of oil flax of San Xi and flax of East-North by means of such as elec-tron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, density and birefringence etc. is presented. The physical andmechanical properties of fibers are also measured. The results show that there is a little differencebetween the macrostructure of two kinds of flax fibers. The count which is an average linear den-sity of single fiber from different parts (root, middle, top of the stem), of the oil flax and that ofthe flax from East-North is 3.28 dtex and 3.29 dtex respectively. The modulus, breaking tenacityand elongation of oil flax are 1835.63 cN / tex, 61.08 cN / tex and 3.62% respectively. Com-paring this data with the data of flax, we find that there exists no appreciable difference.
