Abstract

Flax fibre was treated with alkyl chlorides and physical properties of treated fibres were studied. The results show that elongation increases with the increased size of the alkyl groups. Dodecyl chloride treated fibres exhibit significant improvement in extensibility (12.5%). Fibre strength decreases with the increase of reaction time as well as with the increased size of the alkyl groups. The fibre treated with higher alkyl chloride shows more moisture reduction.
