Abstract
Jute fabrics were treated with ethylene glycol dimethylacrylate (EGDMA) + MeOH solutions at different proportions along with photoinitiator Irgacure 907 and cured under UV-radiation. Monomer concentration, soaking time, and radiation dose were optimized in terms of polymer loading and mechanical properties. Twenty-five percent EGDMA, 30-minute soaking time, and tenth-pass of radiation produced higher tensile strength (75%) and tensile modulus (88%) than those of the untreated sample, as well as the highest polymer loading value (70%). Among different additives used, urea showed the best performance. SEM, water uptake, and dielectric properties of the samples were studied.
