Abstract

Natural fibres such as kenaf, sisal, flax etc. have gained increasing recognition as alternatives to hi-tech synthetic fibres, primarily due to their moderate cost and environmentally friendly nature. However, the well-reported wide variability of their properties, primarily stiffness and strength, presents a significant challenge to the use of these fibres in composite materials and systems that have important implications for reliability and safety. Understanding the sources of variability requires combining different methods of structural analysis, as it is done in the context of multi-modal microscopy reported here. The morphology and internal architecture of flax nodal markings (sometimes also called "dislocations") are described, and their implications for strength discussed.
