Abstract/Description: | Synthetic hydrocarbon-based biostable polymeric fibres contribute about 60% of the global fibre production. Though they are very effective as far as their end application is concerned, the availability of those fibres in the near future may get reduced due to depletion of natural resource, i.e., petroleum oil. The wellexplored natural fibres have limited availability in terms of quantity and those cannot fulfil the total requirement of fiber applications. So there is a global need to search and explore new underexploited, but commercially important natural fibres. After harvesting the vegetable crop, i.e., Lady Finger, the effort was made to use the leftover plant biomass to extract fiber, following a similar process of bast fiber extraction. The present paper reviews the important attributes of underexploited okra plant as a fibre source for various textile applications. Also, it advocates farmers for growing okra plant for additional income generation, while preventing the production of greenhouse gases during burning (commonly practiced). India is the highest producer of Okra in the world, but after okra harvesting, the stem mostly remains underutilized. The paper also reviews the methods of extraction of okra fiber by retting, and its physical, chemical and tensile properties were compared with similar wellexplored lignocellulosic jute fiber. |
