Characterization, modification and use of biomass: okra fibers

Bioinspired, Biomimetic and Nanobiomaterials, 2016
In the present study, fibers were extracted from different parts of okra stem and branches by way of biological retting. The extracted fibers were subjected to chemical and enzymatic treatments. The effects of the treatments on the fibers’ physical, mechanical, chemical and morphological aspects were investigated.

Thermal Characteristics of Okra (Abelmoschus Esculentus) Fibers Obtained via Water- and Dew-Retting [PDF]

Applied Sciences, 2020
In this study, fibers were extracted from different parts of the okra plant (Abelmoschus esculentus) via water- and dew-retting methods. The fibers were subjected to physical and thermal analyses. The fibers obtained from the upper part of the okra plant show higher breaking strength and lower linear density. Fibers obtained via water-retting exhibited

Thermal Characteristics of Okra Bast and Corn Husk Fibers Extracted via Alkalization

Journal of Natural Fibers, 2021
In this study, fibers were extracted from okra stems and corn husks via alkalization. The obtained fibers were subjected to physical and thermal analyses. It was found that okra bast fibers have better breaking strength and are finer than corn husk fibers. Corn husk fibers show high elongation at break rates.

Vibrational Analysis on Hemp and Okra Fibres Mixed Glass Fiber Polyester Composite

International Journal of Research and Review, 2021
In transverse vibrations the element moves to and fro in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the advance of the wave. To determine the vibration characteristics i.e., natural frequencies and mode shapes, modal analysis is a process for a structure or a machine component while is being designed.
