Okra Fibers: Potential Material for Green Biocomposites
Okra bahmia (Abelmoschus esculentus) plant is considered as one of the abundant sources of natural fibers. Huge amount of okra plant stem is discarded on the field annually after collecting vegetable, without proper utilization. However, this biomass from the okra plant is a renewable, biodegradable, cost efficient and low-density source for production

Improved mechanical and tribological behaviour of peepal–okra–madar fiber hybrid composites reinforced with TiO2 nanoparticles [PDF]
Hybridization of natural fiber composite is on the rise to improve the performance of the materials by the synergistic effect of multiple fibres. The wear resistance of hybrid composite has greatly been enhanced by the addition of filler materials.
