Abstract

Natural fiber reinforced composite has been the topic of recent studies and is preferred in various fields of engineering for the specific properties and bio-friendly nature. Surface modification of the natural fibers has been recommended to achieve good bonding. The performance of fiber reinforced polymer composites has been enhanced by the addition of nanofillers. The present work investigates the effect of surface modification of fibers by alkali treatment and the surface roughness and drilling forces in jute fiber reinforced nano-phased epoxy composite are also studied by changing the content of graphene. Graphene has enhanced the quality of hole in nanocomposites.


Keywords: jute fibre, graphene, drilling, thrust, torque, surface roughness
