Cyclic hygrothermal ageing of flax fibers’ bundles and unidirectional flax/epoxy composite. Are bio-based reinforced composites so sensitive?

•A cyclic hydrothermal ageing alters non-embedded flax fibers and flax/epoxy composite.•The ageing induces a drop of composite’s moduli after the first cycles of exposure.•A drop of composite’s tensile stress and strain happen after long time exposure.•Mechanical properties changes are linked to mor...
