Mechanical Properties of Date Palm Leaves

The basic mechanical properties of date palm leaves are investigated. This abundant and cheap fibrous material exhibits very favorable characteristics that can make it an excellent building block in composite structures. The tensile strength (210 MPa) and the specific strength (180 MPa cm3/g) of this fiber are higher than many common building materials (i.e., wood, aluminum and steel). The mechanical properties are dependent on the moisture content of the leaves and the temperature exposure.
