Abstract

Rock re-inforcement in Underground Coal mining is generally being done by roof bolting. Roof bolting is a pre-requisite and important activity for safety and high percentage of productive extraction of the Coal from Underground Coal mining. Nanotechnology and Nanoscience is the latest development in science and technology. Nano material based products for different applications are studied. Nano based material for roof bolts and Nano silicate based capsules for grouting can be used in roof bolting. This paper reviews Underground roof bolting in particular reference to roof bolting and resin capsules. It advocates use of Nano based materials for roof bolts and their grouting which appear to be more advantageous with regard to their high strength and low pollution levels
