Potential of Okra for Application in Textiles: A Review
Journal of Natural Fibers, 2021 Synthetic hydrocarbon-based biostable polymeric fibres contribute about 60% of the global fibre production. Though they are very effective as far as their end application is concerned, the availability of those fibres in the near future may get reduced ...

Effect of time at temperature for natural fibres [PDF]
, 2017 The manufacture of natural fibre reinforced polymer matrix composites is generally assumed to be limited to temperatures not exceeding 200°C. However, given the covalent bonding in the various constituents of natural fibres, they should retain properties

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND The almond industry requires new strategies to improve almond kernel quality. The use of biostimulants such as potassium silicate (KSi) is an eco‐friendly and non‐polluting alternative. The aim of this work was to investigate the preharvest application of KSi solutions at 2 and 20 mmol L−1 to ‘Peraleja’ almond trees during two ...

Effect of mechanical damage and wound healing on the viscoelastic properties of stems of flax cultivars (Linum usitatissimum L. cv. Eden and cv. Drakkar). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 As plant fibres are increasingly used in technical textiles and their composites, underlying principles of wound healing in living plant fibres are relevant to product quality, and provide inspiration for biomimetic healing in synthetic materials.

Retting process of some bast plant fibres and its effect on fibre quality : a review. [PDF]
, 2011 Retting is the main challenge faced during the processing of bast plants for the production of long fibre. The traditional methods for separating the long bast fibres are by dew and water retting.

Micromorpho‐anatomical studies on the leaves and woods of Turkish Daphne (Thymelaeaceae) taxa
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.The identification of Daphne taxa is difficult because of the lack of available morphological characteristics. Here, we aimed to describe leaf and wood micromorpho‐anatomical characteristics of native Turkish Daphne taxa (D. glomerata, D. gnidioides, D. mezereum, D. mucronata, D. oleoides subsp. kurdica, D. pontica and D.
