Lignocellulosic fibres have attracted growing interest as reinforcement of polymeric composite materials as a replacement of synthetic ones (mainly glass). In addition to traditional natural fibres (kenaf, hemp, sisal, flax and jute), in the last years several researchers advanced the feasibility to use also less common natural fibres, due to their low cost and availability. This work investigates the morphology and mechanical properties of fibres extracted from the leaves of the Ampelodesmos mauritanicus (Diss) plant using an extraction process that combines mechanical, mild chemical and enzymatic steps. The structure of Diss fibres makes them suitable as a reinforcing filler in polymer composites, which was assessed by manufacturing biocomposites with improved stiffness and a tensile strength not degraded by Diss fibres when compared to the neat polymer.
