The present paper deals with graft copolymerization of binary vinyl monomer mixtures onto flax fiber. Maximum grafting (86.02 %) has been found with MMA+EA binary mixture. Percentage crystallinity and crystallinity index of graft copolymers were measured with X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique. Crystallinity of flax decreases on grafting with binary vinyl monomer mixtures. Flax showed the highest value of percentage crystallinity (76.96 %) and crystallinity index (0.7005) in comparison to Flax-g-copolymers.
