Abstract

Abstract A study of the graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate onto jute fiber using Ce(IV) and toluene has been carried out. The effects of concentration of monomer, Ce(IV), and toluene on graft yield have been studied. The effects of time, temperature, acid, amount of jute fiber, and some inorganic salts and organic solvents on graft yield have also been investigated. The investigation includes characterization of the grafted fiber by infrared and thermo-gravimetric studies. Grafting improves the thermal stability of jute fibers. More than 200% graft yield was achieved in the present investigation.
