Some Features of Doping of Nano–Graphite in Natural Coir Fibre Epoxy–Composites

An attempt has been made to find some direct or indirect uses of nano-composite polymers in various sectors such as; biomedicalengineering, electronics, structural engineering and many more due new advancement of science and technology. In the present researchwork, we used the doping of nano-graphite in the natural coir fibre reinforced polymer composites. The used samples of compositeswere 45 % of natural coir fibre and 3.2 % of nano-graphite (N-G) in an epoxy resin matrix by weight fraction. We find that on dopingthe above % weight of nano-graphite in the natural coir fibre, the tensile strength roughly increased by 45-50 % and the rest of themechanical properties by 2-3 times on the average. And finally, the SEM analysis revealed a good dispersion of nano-graphite in thepresent samples of composite of coir fibre.
