Abstract
Thermal analysis is a convenient, useful and reproducible method for characterising complex organic materials from plants. In this research we have examined the thermal stability of oxidised and grafted flax and cotton using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) analyses, in order to evaluate the effect of the grafting on their thermal behaviour. In presence of acrylic grafted polymer, the thermal stability of the textiles increases.
