Graphene is now known as a super material because of its fascinating physical properties. Due to a great scope of research, it has now become a center of attraction of research scholars in physics, chemistry as well as materials science to study and explore its potential applications. In this paper, a brief review is presented on the various graphene synthesis methods and a short introduction of different types of fibres is discussed. Various studies have been carried out to obtain graphene coating on different fibres and observe the changes in their physical and chemical properties. This paper also provides the different types of coating methods used to form graphene layer on the fibres discussed.
