Morphological, thermal and mechanical characterization of okra ( Abelmoschus esculentus) fibres as potential reinforcement in polymer composites

Okra technical fibres are extracted from the stem of a plant of the Malvaceae family ( Abelmoschus esculentus), which is originally from Egypt, but is also cropped in Southern Asia and elsewhere for nutritional purposes. Their use as potential reinforcement in polymer composites requires the underst...
