Basics
- This page explores the various properties of Hemp based plant fibers
- This will aid the Comparison of Natural Fibers, and Comparison of Fibers pages
- This page refers to untreated, non coated/composite hemp fibers
Physical Properties
Tensile Strength
- Exerpt from Study 1:
"Fibres of diameter 4 μm had mean tensile strength and modulus values of 4200 and 180 GPa, respectively. These values decreased to 250 MPa and 11 GPa, respectively, for fibres of diameter 66 μm. For the fibres of diameter 800 μm, the values were as low as 10 MPa for tensile strength and 2 GPa for tensile modulus."
Thermal Degradation
- Thermal Degredatgion occurs anywhere from 160C-240C ( at STP or SOC pressure?, needs to be determined) according to study 1:
"Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) of jute fibres shows that they start degrading at 240°C [2]. For flax fibres, it has been shown [3] that degradation starts at just above 160°C."
