A study of the influence of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) on the graft copolymerization of acrylonitrile (AN) onto jute fiber using ceric ion has been made. The effect of concentrations of monomer, Ce(IV) and DMSO on graft yield have been studied. Besides, the effect of time, temperature, acid, and the amount of jute fiber on graft yield has been investigated. On the basis of experimental findings, a reaction mechanism has been proposed and optimum condition for effective grafting has been suggested.
