Abstract
mproving the mechanical and physical properties of bio-composite materials involves
the incorporation of plant fibers such as Jute, Hemp, Kenaf, Ramie, Sisal, Linen, etc. The
existence of Diss grass (Ampelodesmos mauritanicus) in abundance in the east of Algeria
especially in Khenchela region and taking into account their mechanical resistance and
their low density, which justifies their choice of use in composite materials. Tensile and
hardness tests for different volume fractions (from 05% to 20%) of short fibers of Diss
are performed. The increase in fiber content and their treatment improves the mechanical
characteristics of the composite materials. These concentration levels are added to a
Polyester resin matrix. Our work relates to the study of a composite material reinforced
by a vegetable fiber of which different volume ratio of short Diss fiber are considered.
The results collected are purely experimental.
