Thermal Characteristics of Okra Bast and Corn Husk Fibers Extracted via Alkalization
In this study, fibers were extracted from okra stems and corn husks via alkalization. The obtained fibers were subjected to physical and thermal analyses. It was found that okra bast fibers have better breaking strength and are finer than corn husk fibers. Corn husk fibers show high elongation at br...
