In this thesis, extensive research has been made for the use of flax fibers in composite materials, while it is investigated the possibility of substituting the convential epoxy resins, with biobased epoxy resins. The aim of this thesis is to compare materials reinforced with UD flax fibers by alternating the matrix. For this reason, two different types of epoxy resins have been used. Specifically, it has been used a biobased epoxy (GreenPoxy 56) and a conventional epoxy (L-epoxy). For the comparison of the materials, fracture experiments have been carried out (Mode I,II), while ILSS experiments were also done for further quality inspection.
