“…However, PLA is better from a mechanical property perspective and has been shown to provide greater strength and stiffness with natural fibers than PP [172] . The high mechanical stability of jute fibers with high tensile strength, flexural strength, and impact strength [64,173] makes them feature candidate materials for the preparation of jute‐reinforced polymer nanocomposites.…”

Nanotechnology has transformed the world with its diverse applications, ranging from industrial developments to impacting our daily lives. It has multiple applications throughout financial sectors and enables the development of facilitating scientific endeavors with extensive commercial potentials. Nanomaterials, especially the ones which have shown biomedical and other health‐related properties, have added new dimensions to the field of nanotechnology. Recently, the use of bioresources in nanotechnology has gained significant attention from the scientific community due to its 100 % eco‐friendly features, availability, and low costs. In this context, jute offers a considerable potential. Globally, its plant produces the second most common natural cellulose fibers and a large amount of jute sticks as a byproduct. The main chemical compositions of jute fibers and sticks, which have a trace amount of ash content, are cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. This makes jute as an ideal source of pure nanocellulose, nano‐lignin, and nanocarbon preparation. It has also been used as a source in the evolution of nanomaterials used in various applications. In addition, hemicellulose and lignin, which are extractable from jute fibers and sticks, could be utilized as a reductant/stabilizer for preparing other nanomaterials. This review highlights the status and prospects of jute in nanotechnology. Different research areas in which jute can be applied, such as in nanocellulose preparation, as scaffolds for other nanomaterials, catalysis, carbon preparation, life sciences, coatings, polymers, energy storage, drug delivery, fertilizer delivery, electrochemistry, reductant, and stabilizer for synthesizing other nanomaterials, petroleum industry, paper industry, polymeric nanocomposites, sensors, coatings, and electronics, have been summarized in detail. We hope that these prospects will serve as a precursor of jute‐based nanotechnology research in the future.

“…There is a growing interest for natural and envoirment friendly materials and the desire to lessen the cost of synthetic fibers which are being utilized generally in synthesis of polymer composites. Numerous scientists have started working on natural fiber composites (i.e., bio composites), because these composites are now widely used in automotive industries and in different interior and exterior car parts [1].…”

Jute based green composites are emerging materials due to their certain attractive properties like appropriate strength to weight ratio, high damping ratio, low price and corrosion resistance. Jute/carbon hybrid composite can replace carbon fiber reinforced composites without much loss in tensile strength. These hybrid composites are now being used in various automobile interior and exterior parts. In this study tensile behavior of carbon/jute reinforced epoxy hybrid textile composites, for different volume fractions of carbon and jute fibers, is studied experimentally and numerically. Tensile behavior of composite materials is always required for design and analysis of any structure. It is found that with increase in jute percentage tensile strength of hybrid composite decrease. Numerical results agrees well with experimental results and error increases with increase in jute percentage due to heterogeneous jute properties and waviness of fabrics. Fractographic study reveals that delamination phenomenon exists in between plies and jute fiber shows more pullout than carbon fiber. Scanning electron microscope analysis depicted that matrix fails in form of fragmentation while fibers show pullout during failure.

“…Lower crystallinity, hydrophilicity, and inherent electrical insulation properties of jute fiber results in lower mechanical, poor interfacial, and electrical properties of jute fiber reinforced composites that limits their application as multifunctional composites (Gassan and Bledzki, 1999b;Karim et al, 2021b). Few carbon based materials were reported to enhance properties of jute fiber composites earlier (Zhuang et al, 2011;Islam et al, 2020;Saiteja et al, 2020;Tzounis et al, 2014); however, a recent study reported for the first time the incorporation of graphene and its derivatives to design high-performance natural fiber composites (Sarker et al, 2018). In this study alkali-treated jute fibers were coated with graphene flakes and GO which enhanced interfacial shear strength by $236% and tensile strength by $96%.…”

Natural fiber reinforced composites (FRC) are of great interests, because of their biodegradability, recyclability, and environmental benefits over synthetic FRC. Natural jute FRC could provide an environmentally sustainable, light weight, and cost-effective alternative to synthetic FRC. However, the application of natural jute FRC is limited because of their poor mechanical and interfacial properties. Graphene and its derivatives could potentially be applied to modify jute fiber surface for manufacturing natural FRC with excellent mechanical properties, and lower environmental impacts. Here, we review the physical and chemical treatments, and graphene-based modifications of jute fibers, and their effect on mechanical properties of jute FRC. We introduce jute fiber structure, chemical compositions, and their potential applications first. We then provide an overview of various surface treatments used to improve mechanical properties of jute FRC. We discuss and compare various graphene derivative-based surface modifications of jute fibers, and their impact on the performance of FRC. Finally, we provide our future perspective on graphene-based jute fibers research to enable next generation strong and sustainable FRC for high performance engineering applications without conferring environmental problems.
