Okra, a New Technical Bast Fiber: Its Comparison with Jute Fiber

Novel okra woven fabric reinforced polylactic acid composites: Mechanical, morphological, and thermal properties

“…These characteristics are indicative of its commendable mechanical and physical robustness, which are essential attributes for ensuring its sustainability. 33 The investigation into okra fiber was initiated in 2007. Subsequent to this, a number of investigations have been conducted on the utilization of okra fiber-reinforced composites, which have exhibited considerable potential.…”

“…The substance in question has a light cream, white, or yellow hue, possessing a smooth and lustrous texture. These characteristics are indicative of its commendable mechanical and physical robustness, which are essential attributes for ensuring its sustainability 33 …”

“…Recent studies have focused on various aspects of okra fiber, including its extraction and surface modification using environmentally friendly methods reported by Kocak et al, 40 among the other investigations Khan et al 41 have explored the effects of chemical treatments and degumming methods on the fiber, Khan et al 42 also analyzed the impact of alkalization on biologically degummed fiber. Additionally, researchers have examined the influence of wet‐drying treatment on the properties of okra fiber by Stanislas et al, 43 the relationship between harvesting time and the mechanical properties of the fiber reported by Dayan et al, 44 the optical properties of okra plants and their lifespan by Gupta et al, 45 categorized different varieties of okra in India by Kolte et al, 46 compared okra fiber to jute fiber by Gupta P et al, 33 while Stawski et al 47 conducted thermal characterization of okra fiber through alkalization. However, despite the diligent endeavors of researchers in the domain of fiber stage, a thorough investigation or examination pertaining to the utilization and characteristics of woven textiles comprised solely of 100% okra fiber has not yet been undertaken.…”
