The used reinforcement is made of Diss fibers. The Diss Ampelodesma Accepted 24 November 2015 mauritanica is a Mediterranean wild plant. This fiber is characterized in tensile according to Available online ASTM standard. The results obtained show that the fiber Young s modulus and the stress at 25 November 2015 Keywords break were very interesting and were similar to those obtained for some natural fibers such as Renewable fibers sisal fiber. The composite was developed to study by three differing volume fractions of 20 Diss 30 and 40 . Ampelodesma mauritanica Natural fibers Composite Tensile properties 2016 Growing Science Ltd. All rights reserved. 1. Introduction In the recent years many researchers took the challenges to replace the synthetic fibers by the renewable fibers in composite materials. Natural fibers have many advantages like good mechanical properties lower density and environmental impact Bouakba et al. 2013 Ben Brahim amp Ben Cheikh 2007 . The main advantages to use natural fibers in composite are low cost low weight biodegradable ecological and renewable. However two major reasons limit applying natural fibers reinforced composite. First the tensile strength of natural fiber is very low compared to Synthetic fibers. The second is the water absorption Wambua
