- This study characterises waste date palm fibres as a sustainable reinforcements for multi-functional biocomposites. The results revealed that these fibres possess a high toughness and thermal stability combination which offers the potential of these waste biofibres as cost effective and environmentally friendly reinforcements. This interdisciplinary work contributed to the award of Interreg (FLOWER) project (31/01/2018 to 29/09/2022) co-financed by the ERDF within the framework of the INTERREG France (Manche) England cross-border cooperation programme, total budget of €4.6 million (including €3.1million European Union (ERDF – Interreg FCE) co-financing), Grant Number 23, with 8 partner consortium led by Dr. Alain Bourmaud (alain.bourmaud@univ-ubs.fr).
