“…These factors are reflected in the quality of products and their ability to meet needs and requirements, including strength, durability, light weight, ease of manufacturing processes, biodegradability, and other advantages. Natural fiber-based composite materials such as sisal, jute, Abaca, coir, hemp, etc., have enabled many innovations by improving physical and mechanical properties such as density [1], elastic modulus [1,2], strength at the elastic limit and/or at break [3], etc. The family of fiber reinforcements of composite materials, which appeared in the forties of the last century, continued to develop due to their mechanical properties that are often associated with low density [4].…”

The primary aim of this research is to develop a method for extracting fibers from the bark of the Daphne Gnidium shrub for use in various fields, such as paper manufacturing and reinforcing composite materials with plant fibers. These plant fibers have gained significant attention and are increasingly utilized in automotive, infrastructure, and renewable material-based sectors. Following the extraction of Daphne Gnidium bark fibers using the method outlined in this study, we analyzed their morphological, chemical, and physical properties in samples of the biofibers, locally known as Lazaz. The characteristics (physical, chemical, and morphological structure) revealed in this research align with numerous other studies, particularly in terms of density. We also consider the economic and environmental contexts of local natural products in Algeria, prompting us to undertake comprehensive studies in the environmental field to identify new types of useful plants that can contribute to technological development.
