Modern world seeks dramatic progress in composite materials use in numerous applications. Scientists worldwide are researching on fabricating new composites and attempting to have more applications using these materials. Serious attempts have also been taken to improve the properties of these materials. In this circumstance, a conscious attempt has been made in this present work that studies the effect of SiC/TiO2/Al2O3/ graphene nanoparticles (NPs) deposition on Kevlar fiber. In this process, SiC/TiO2/Al2O3/ graphene NPs have been deposited on Kevlar fiber by dip coating process. For the analysis, physical observation has been performed well at first which confirms nanoparticle deposition on the fiber and formation of adhesive bonding. SEM analysis followed by surface topography has been conducted to observe and further analysis of nanoparticle deposition. Atomic bonding mechanism shows how chemical bonding between fiber and nanoparticles. TGA analysis shows thermal improvement of the fiber by NPs deposition where graphene with binder makes 21.6% improvement in decomposition temperature. Tensile strength and young’s modulus of binder inclusion coated kevlar fabric are improved up to 26% and 5.7%, respectively. Finally, the IR-spectra confirms successful deposition of nanoparticles on the fiber.
