Effect of surface treatment and Z-axis reinforcement on the interlaminar fracture of jute/epoxy laminated composites

•Fabricated z-directional micro-fiber reinforced laminated jute/epoxy composites.•Investigated fracture toughness and R-curves for two different laminate conditions.•Fracture surfaces of all cases from scanning electron microscopy are investigated.•Z-reinforcement improved fracture properties of uni...
