Graft copolymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) onto acetylated chemically modified jute was carried out in the temperature range 40–60°C using V 5+ ‐cyclohexanone redox initiator system. The effects of temperature, time, concentrations of metal ion (V 5+ ), monomer (AN), cyclohexanone, some inorganic salts, and organic solvents on percent grafting have been studied. IR spectra of acetylated chemically modified jute and grafted jute have been taken, and their characteristic bands have been identified. Grafting has improved the thermal stability and also the lightfastness rating of jute fibers dyed with basic dyes.
