The integration of natural fibre thermoplastic composites, particularly those combining flax fibres with polypropylene, offers a promising alternative to traditional synthetic emphasising sustainability in composite materials. This study investigates the mechanical properties flax/polypropylene composites manufactured using flashlamp automated tape placement and press consolidation, individually combination. Tensile, compression, three-point bending, double cantilever beam tests are utilised for comparing these manufacturing processes performance resulting composites. microstructure tapes is investigated cross-sectional microscopy, thermophysical behaviour analysed utilising thermogravimetric analysis differential scanning calorimetry. temperature during monitored an infrared camera, pressure mapped pressure-sensitive films. show good aptitude being placement. tensile close that consolidated samples. Compression, flexural properties, mode I fracture toughness critical energy release rate all benefit from second consolidation step.
