Mechanical performance of date palm fibre-reinforced gypsums [PDF]
Innovative Infrastructure Solutions, 2016 Abstract The present work examines the properties of gypsum reinforced with palm fibres, as a low-cost construction material. Panels of 500 × 500 × 20/25 mm were fabricated and tested for impact strength, compressive strength and flexural strength. The results are compared with those made from fibreglass-reinforced gypsum.

Valorisation of Date Palm Fibres in Sahara Constructions
Energy Procedia, 2015 AbstractThe Saharan regions in the south of Algeria have a dry climate; it's very hot in summer and cold in winter. The building materials that are commonly used in these areas are concrete and cement mortar. These materials, which represent poor thermal insulation, result in enormous expenses in terms of air conditioning or heating.

Extrusion and injection moulding induced degradation of date palm fibre - polypropylene composites
Polymer Degradation and Stability, 2021 Abstract The use of date palm fibres, which are an abundant by-product of agriculture, as natural reinforcement in polypropylene (PP) was studied. Because odour emissions are one of the major challenges for natural fibre-based composites, the emission of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) generated at different processing steps was analysed online ...
