Thick polymer film was prepared under gamma irradiation using urethane acrylate in the presence of N ‐vinylpyrrolidone, ethyl hexyl acrylate, and trimethylol propane triacrylate. Both jute dust and hessian cloth (jute fabric) were used to constitute composites based on the prepared resin matrix. Some of their physical and mechanical properties were studied. Some additives such as acetic acid, acrylamide, urea, talc, and titanium oxide were incorporated into the formulation to investigate their effect on the physical and mechanical properties. Water absorption and weathering resistance of the resin and composites were also investigated. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 67: 79–85, 1998
