The textile properties of tensile strength and thermal decomposition of cotton cellulose grafted by photoinitiation technique using 2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate monomer were studied. The photoinitiators, namely, uranyl nitrate (UN) and ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN), were used during grafting of unswollen and swollen cotton samples. The tensile strength decreased with increase in graft add‐on, whereas, the thermal stability was imparted to the grafted cotton according to the level of graft add‐on.
