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.
天然纤维增强复合材料（FRC）备受关注，因为相较于合成纤维增强复合材料，它们具有生物可降解性、可回收性以及环境效益。天然黄麻纤维增强复合材料可为合成纤维增强复合材料提供一种环境可持续、重量轻且具有成本效益的替代方案。然而，天然黄麻纤维增强复合材料的应用受到限制，因为它们的机械性能和界面性能较差。石墨烯及其衍生物有可能用于改性黄麻纤维表面，以制造具有优异机械性能且对环境影响较小的天然纤维增强复合材料。在此，我们综述了黄麻纤维的物理和化学处理、基于石墨烯的改性及其对黄麻纤维增强复合材料机械性能的影响。我们首先介绍黄麻纤维的结构、化学成分及其潜在应用。然后，我们概述了用于改善黄麻纤维增强复合材料机械性能的各种表面处理方法。我们讨论并比较了基于各种石墨烯衍生物的黄麻纤维表面改性及其对纤维增强复合材料性能的影响。最后，我们对基于石墨烯的黄麻纤维研究提出未来展望，以实现用于高性能工程应用的下一代高强度且可持续的纤维增强复合材料，同时不会带来环境问题。
