Abstract
Among the various types of copolymerization, graft copolym-erization has attracted considerable attention among applied polymer chemists. Graft copolymerization is a process of copolymerization of one kind of monomer in its polymeric state with another polymer which may be either synthetic or natural. So a graft copolymer is a high polymer whose molecule consists of two or more polymeric parts of different composition, chemically united together. Graft copolymerization onto textile fibers is a challenging field of research with unlimited future prospects [1-10]. This is attractive to chemists as a means of modifying macromolecules since, in general, degradation is minimized. The desirable properties of the polymer are retained, and copolymerization Drovides additional properties throuerh the added polymer.
