Abstract
The physical properties of Methyl Methacrylate grafted Muga silk fiber (9.05 to 25.5% graft) were studied using standard methods. Properties of textile interest such as thermal insulating capacity, tensile prop erties like breaking load, tenacity, tensile strength, young's modulus , and electrical properties such as electrical resistance were found t o decrease with an increase in percentage of grafting. Possible explan ations for such changes in properties are advanced and suitable end us es for the grafted fiber identified.
