An overview of okra fibre reinforced polymer composites

Abstract

Increasing attention towards "sustainable environment" invited the development of new materials to satisfy the needs of the public with less/no damage on surroundings. In this regard a specific attempt is made by the author to do review and understand the performance of the variable vegetable fibres of okra which is botanically called 'Abelmoschus Esculentus' and their composites under various conditions of load. Further the results exist in the literature are also reviewed for the purpose of comparison.
