The use of composites in various fields has increased rapidly due to their advantages such as convenience, stability, tensile, flexural and impact resistance. Mechanical properties in textile composites are closely linked to fiber reinforcement. Flax fibers are used with various polymer materials. The most common matrix material used in flax fibers is epoxy polypropylene, as it is easy to process and has good mechanical properties. Flax fiber reinforced composites have high tensile, flexural and impact strength. Compared to other natural fibers, composites made with flax fibers are costly. In this study, a composite surface was obtained by applying epoxy polymer to the surface of flax fiber reinforced fabric of different lengths and the mechanical properties of the resulting composite samples were examined. As a result of the testing of composites made of flax fibers, tensile strength measured between 17.76 and 26.62 MPa, flexural strength between 28.82 and 46.92 MPa and impact strength of 2.39-5.25 J were measured. The results obtained show that improvements were achieved in the mechanical properties of epoxy resin and flax fiber reinforced polymeric composite materials.
