The use of plant fibers as a reinforcement in polyester matrices requires the issue of compatibility between the two phases to be addressed. Because plant fibers present hydrophilic surfaces and polyesters are generally hydrophobic, poor fibermatrix dispersion and wetting of the fibers by the matrix

Recently, great interest was paid to new technologies dealing with environmental aspect. Preservation of natural resources such as natural fibers forced the composite industry to search and examine βeco-friendlyβ components. Studies to find alternative reinforcements and resin systems that are envir
## Abstract Short date palm tree lignocellulosic fibers have been used as a reinforcing phase in commodity thermoplastic matrices [poly(propylene) and low density polyethylene]. Compatibilization of the fibers was carried out with the use of maleic anhydride copolymers. The morphology, thermal and
## Abstract Lignocellulosic fibers from date palm trees were employed to reinforce an epoxy matrix. Two fiber sizes were used, with the length and diameter in the range of 20β30 and 1.5β3 mm, respectively, for the soβcalled long fibers, and in the range of 5β15 and 0.25β0.75 mm, respectively, for t
