Jute fibers have been chemically modified through crosslinking with formaldehyde, p-Phenylenediamine Phthalic anhydride and combined crosslinking-cyanoethylation reactions using suitable solvent and catalyst. The parent and modified fibers were characterized by FTIR Spectroscopy. The percent moisture regain, tensile modulus and behavior towards some Chemical reagents (solubility %) of parent and modified fibers have also been evaluated. The modified fibers showed significant hydrophobicity, improved mechanical strength and moderate chemical resistance.
