A study  of  the  graft copolymerization  of acrylonitrile  into  bleached sulphonated jute-cotton    blended   fabric,    using  KMnO4/H2SO4 redox-initiator system  has   been   made.The polymerization     reaction  was   studied   with  the   respect  to   graft  yield,   graft   efficiency  and homopolymer.   Optimization  of varios    parameter  of grafting  viz.  time,  temperature, initiator, sulphuric    acid   and  monomer  concentration was  carried   out.  Grafting   has  improved  the light   fastness of bleached sulphonated jute-cotton    blended  fabric   with basic dyes.   More  than  13.5%  graft yield could be achieved in the present investigation.
