Answer:
Like most other natural fibers flax mostly consists of cellulose. Long chains of cellulose are created via β-1, 4 linkage. So, flax has a longer polymer chain than cotton. Every chain of flax consists of 18000 cellulose units which is 18000 micrometers long and 8.8 nanometer thick.
A single fiber itself is a composite material consisting of cellulose, hemicelluloses, and lignin, with minor amounts of sugars, starch proteins, etc, — it is a three dimensional biopolymer. The performance of a natural fiber depends on several factors, such as its chemical composition and physical properties.
