Abstract

We usually associate Egypt’s contribution to civilization with ancient achievements, like pyramids and hieroglyphics. But three Egyptian scientists are trying to change that. They have managed to extract long fibers with excellent properties from a plentiful bio-source that was previously overlooked: date palms. With a potential 1.3 million tons of date palm fibers per year, Egypt could become an important source of high tech bio-fibers for fabrics and reinforcements. But the road to get there is long.
