“…Separated date palm tree trunk and leaf rachis and fibers are illustrated in Fig 5. Many researchers reported industrial applications of date palm fibers based on the property of these fibers in forming polymer composites for automotive components. These fibers are used as effective filler in both thermosetting and thermoplastics materials [8,[62][63]. The competitiveness of the date palm fibers in forming polymer composites suitable for automotive industrial components were reported by researchers [8].…”

“…Many studies reveal that the effectiveness of the date palm fibers can be increased by chemical treatment [41,62,[67][68]73]. Alawar et al [71] investigated the date palm fiber using different alkali treatments with a wide range from 0.5 to 5 % and acid treatment with 0.3 N,0.9 N and 1.6 N were used for 1h at 100 °C are used to modified the fiber surface .…”

“…In other study unlike flax fibers and starch based composites, DPF are combined with other types of fibers to make a complete, eco-friendly, biodegradable hybrid composite [74]. Most generally, it has been established that reinforcing of date palm fibers with different polymers exhibit considerable enhancements in, thermal and acoustical properties, mechanical properties like Young's modulus, flexural strength and tensile strength [62,68,73], indicating its wider industrial applications [8].

“…The NFCs' mechanical properties, manufacturing processes, constituents compatibility as well as chemical modifications to improve their performance were extensively addressed. 6,[31][32][33][34][35] However, only few studies had compared fiber types, natural composites as well as synthetic ones for certain applications. 1,34 In contrast, limited studies were found considering decisionmaking models for selecting the proper NFCs for certain types of applications.…”

Recent emphasis on the proper utilization of the available natural resources as well as the compatibility between industrial sustainability and the environment have recognized the natural fiber reinforced polymer composites as a valuable type of materials. The final features of natural fiber reinforced polymer composites are strongly influenced by the characteristics of their constituents. Several factors affect implementing natural fiber reinforced polymer composites in automotive applications, which make it a matter of multi-criteria decision making problem. In this work, a decision-making model is introduced to evaluate and select the most appropriate non-woven natural reinforcement fiber/polypropylene-based composites for interior parts in the automotive industry considering various evaluation criteria simultaneously. The analytical hierarchy process was utilized to assess 15 potential alternatives of different natural fiber/polypropylene composites. The evaluation process considered simultaneous six evaluation criteria, namely tensile strength, tensile modulus, flexural strength, flexural modulus, impact strength and the maximum water absorption of the composites. Such approach is implemented here for the first time to enhance the selection process of natural fiber reinforced polymer composites for automotive application and to expand the future sustainable design possibilities in this sector. Both impact and flexural strengths were found to have the major priority in the evaluation process. The treated flax/polypropylene composite with 30 wt% fiber loading alternative was found to be the best with regard to the overall evaluation criteria. Date palm fiber/polypropylene composites were found to be potential considering the whole desired evaluation criteria.

“…The vibration band at 2916 cm À1 , corresponding to the stretching of the C-H aliphatic group, is included in almost all natural fibers. This band decreased due to the removal of hemicelluloses [22] . It is also clearly noticeable that the band around 1739 cm À1 corresponding to CO group of the noncellulosic components (pectin, lignin and hemicelluloses) disappears, suggesting their removal from the fiber when this one is treated by 9% NaOH solution.…”

Composite materials based on Alfa fibers and unsaturated polyester resins were manufactured by the hand layup technique. Mechanical properties of composites prepared form Alfa fibers collected from the region of Boussaada (Algeria), treated by various concentrations of NaOH solutions (1, 3, 6, 9, and 12%) during 24 h were found to be better than those of the untreated ones. The 6% NaOH-treated fibers composite showed maximum improvement in tensile strengths about 63% and the 9% NaOH treated fibers composite showed maximum improvement in flexural strength about 52%, respectively. The tensile modulus improved by 50.48%. The flexural modulus was also improved by 44.06% compared to the untreated Alfa fiber composite. FTIR characterization of Alfa fibers showed that the number of hydroxyl groups (OH) decreased and the crystallinity index increase by 16.60% after alkaline treatment. SEM observations on fibers' surfaces showed that the alkaline treatment improved the interface adhesion of fiber-matrix.
