Description
Hamid Hassan, Zeeshan Ur Rehman, and Bon Heun Koo coat cotton fabric to resist fire with green materials, in this 2024 paper. Cotton burns easily, and many flame retardants rely on harsh chemistry. Their coating stacks thin layers, one by one, from a chitosan and polymer mix set against bentonite clay.
Microscope and element scans confirmed the layers sat on the fabric surface. Infrared spectra showed the expected chemical shifts between raw and coated cloth. Heat tests then weighed what stayed behind as samples were heated to 700 degrees. The best sample left about 19.83 percent residue, far above raw cotton, showing much stronger heat stability. The authors present the layer stack as a low-harm route to safer textiles for homes and industry.
