Abstract
IN the course of investigations carried out with the view of improving the resistance of jute fibre towards light by chemical modification, it was observed that a remarkable protection against degradation of the fibre by light can be achieved by reacting the fibre with urea in presence of a catalyst at an elevated temperature.
