Morphological, thermal and mechanical characterization of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) fibres as potential reinforcement in polymer composites (2010, background): “Typically, the structure of a okra fibre consists of several elementary fibres (referred also to as ultimate fibres or cells) overlapped along the length of the fibres and bonded firmly together, by pectin and other non-cellulosic compounds that give strength to the bundle as a whole [14].”
Developing plant fibre composites for structural applications by optimising composite parameters: a critical review (2013, background): “Notably, while the total global production of wood fibres and cotton exceeded 100 million tonnes and 20 million tonnes in 2010 (Table 2), respectively, the total global production of all bast, leaf and other seed fibres amounted to only ~5 million tonnes in the same year [30, 34].”
Can silk become an effective reinforcing fibre? A property comparison with flax and glass reinforced composites (2014, unknown): “Data from [14-18] (and references therein).”
Mechanical and thermal characterization of epoxy composites reinforced with random and quasi-unidirectional untreated Phormium tenax leaf fibers (2010, background): “4a a number of lumens appear to be completely filled with protoplasm [22].”
