Fibre extraction from oleaginous flax for technical textile applications: influence of pre-processing parameters on fibre extraction yield, size distribution and mechanical properties... However, as the straws are not harvested with the same technique and care than for the textile flax, the classical scutching technique cannot be used....
Mechanical and falling weight impact properties of unidirectional phormium fibre/epoxy laminates...i.e., either manually or by paddocking and scutching and in both cases chemically treated with a 1% solution of sodium hydroxide, have been investigated....
Optimizing hemp fiber production for high performance composite applications... Scutching was performed on un-retted stems and dew-retted stems, the un-retted scutched fiber bundles were then bio-degummed before hackling....
On the cultivation of flax upon captain dixon's estate of skelton castle, on the river isis, tasmania...grassing.During the first four years it was tried on small portions of land; the breaking and scutching, then effected by hand labour,alone absorbing the value of the flax raised, and rendering its cultivation unprofitable....
