Stringent environmental regulations and increased interest in the preservation of natural resources have forced the composite industry to examine ecofriendly components. Efforts are being deployed to find alternative reinforcements and resin systems that are environmentally friendly while providing the same performance as their synthetic counterparts. The aim of this article is to study the potential of using date palm fibers (DPF) as reinforcement in polymeric materials. This objective was achieved by characterizing the DPF through the evaluation of their chemical, physical, and mechanical properties and comparing them with other commonly used natural fibers. The effect of different surface modification processes on DPF properties such as tensile strength, density, surface morphology, and thermal stability were investigated.
