...-mordanted bleached and mercerized cotton fabrics. Flame retardant properties of the control and treated fabrics were analyzed in terms of limiting oxygen index (LOI), horizontal and vertical flammability and total heat of combustion using bomb calorimeter. The thermal degradation and pyrolysis was studied...

... is modified by treatment with oxygen plasma. (Riccobono and Rolden, 1973). Cotton fabrics are highly popular because of their excellent properties such as regeneration, bio-degradation, softness, affinity to the skin and hygroscopic properties. When in contact with the human body, cotton fabrics offers...
