Bending of flax/polypropylene composites based on comingled fabric: feasibility study

Abstract Plant fibers are increasingly being incorporated into composites, as they reduce the material’s environmental impact. As part of an eco-design approach, we studied the processing of a flax/polypropylene (PP) composite. The ability of companies to adapt to demand is also a key factor in the ecological transition. While the manufacture of this composite using the bending method has already been studied, the way in which it is shaped has received little attention. In this study, the feasib
