Hypothesis
The use of a novel layer by layer deposition method can enhance the fire-retardant properties of cotton fabric.
Conclusion
The study successfully developed a fire-retardant coating on cotton fabric that significantly improves its thermal stability and flame resistance.
Supporting Evidence
- The treated fabric showed significant changes in chemical composition as confirmed by FTIR analysis.
- Thermogravimetric analysis indicated improved thermal stability of the coated samples compared to uncoated cotton.
- The vertical flame test demonstrated that the coated samples effectively resisted flame propagation.
Takeaway
This study shows how a special coating can make cotton fabric safer from fire, helping to protect people and property.
Methodology
The study used a layer by layer deposition technique with a hybrid cationic solution and bentonite clay to coat cotton fabric.
