most of thermoplastic polymers which allows them to have a better distribution and contact with natural fibres and they are 100% biodegradable. However, tensile strength of PHA copolymers show to be constant upon the loss in molecular weight until below 100 kg/g-mol at which point it decreases dramatically, as the degree of chain entanglement decreases body puff . Also, PHAs havelow thermal stability while melted and while processing some of the PHAs show slow crystallization rate which affects the mechanical properties. Moreover, the utilization of PHA polymer in developing Polymer Matrix Systems Used for Date Palm Composite Reinforcement 135 composites with natural fibre are not yet feasible on a large scale due to the high costs for sterilizing equipment, in combination with a refined carbon source, the productivity limitations for biological processes and the need for an extraction stage, which lead to a high market price of PHA when compared to the costs of convention
