Silk fabric samples were grafted with 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate monomer by ultraviolet rays, and a light-initiated graft copolymerization system without any additives or co-additives had been established. Experiments were performed to study effects of monomer concentration, irradiation time, pH value on the grafting rate. FT-IR and DSC characterizations of the grafted silk samples were carried out to study the property changes in the silk fabrics. With advantages of fairly high graft rate, simpler equipment and operation and free of additives, the method may be an effective technique to improve the properties of silk fabrics.
