N2  - Great attention was paid to develop new eco - friendly " green " materials with growing environmental awareness in recent years . Composites of environmental friendly reinforcements and resins that provide high performance at affordable costs are in continuous progress . In this work , completely biodegradable thermoplastic starch ( TPS ) based matrix was reinforced with flax and date palm fibers ( DPFs ) individually with different fiber weight fractions ( 20 to 80 wt. % ) in order to investigate their effect on composite mechanical properties
