Abstract
Abstract The physical properties of methyl methacrylate grafted tussah silk fiber (9.6 to 36.9% graft) were studied using standard methods. Properties of textile interest such a8 thermal conductivity and shrinkage; tensile properties such a8 breaking load, tenacity, tensile strength, and Young' s modulus; and electrical properties such as electrical resistance were found to decrease with an increase in percentage of grafting. Possible explanations for such changes in properties are advanced and suitable end uses for the grafted fiber identified.
