Abstract

Natural fibers are attractive for their biodegradability and exceptional properties. Date palm as a source of fibers has many advantages over other sources of natural fibers; since date palm fiber sources are regarded as agriculture waste and the tree itself is cultivated for the fruit. Natural fibers including date palm are used as reinforcement to thermoplastics or thermosets using different manufacturing technique. This chapter discusses different composite manufacturing techniques that can be used with natural fibers. The discussed techniques are hand layup, RTM, VARTM, filament winding, pultrusion, compression molding, extrusion, injection molding and 3D printing.
