Water Absorption Behaviour and Its Effect on the Mechanical Properties of Flax Fibre Reinforced Bioepoxy Composites

Table 2

Comparison of the properties of flax and glass fibre.

Fibre	Density (g/cm^3)	Elongation at break (%)	Tensile strength (MPa)	Tensile modulus (GPa)
Flax	1.5	2.7–3.2	500–900	50–70
E-glass	2.5	2.5	2000–3500	70
