Abstract
AbstractGraft copolymerization of acrylate monomers, e.g., methyl methacrylate and ethyl methacrylate, onto bleached sulfonated jute–cotton‐blended fabric was carried out in an aqueous medium, using potassium persulfate as an initiator under the catalytic influence of ferrous sulfate in a nitrogen atmosphere. The parameter variables, e.g., concentrations of monomer, potassium persulfate, ferrous sulfate, reaction time, and reaction temperature, directly influenced the percent graft yield. The percent graft yield increased to a certain value in each variable, and the percent graft yield of methyl methacrylate and ethyl methacrylate was about 15.9 and 17.1%, respectively. Polymer grafting was characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and X‐ray diffractometry. Grafting improved the thermal stability, protected from photo‐oxidative degradation, decreased the dyeability, and had positive impact on fastness characteristics. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
