A study on coating with nanoclay on the production of flame retardant cotton fabrics
Open accessAbstract
In this study, flame retardant properties of 100% cotton fabrics were tried to be improved by using commercial nanoclay (Cloisite 20A) which is a clay based montmorillonite. Flame retardancy and thermal decomposition behavior of the samples were characterized by the vertical burning test, limiting oxygen index (LOI), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The surface morphology of untreated and treated fabric was examined using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis was carried out for Cloisite 20A, untreated and coated fabrics. The results of the tests showed that the coating treatment even at low nanoclay concentration is enough to have a considerable flame retardant effect. This result was attributed to the barrier effect of the nanoclay.

In the FTIR spectrum of MMT, bands at 1117 cm−1 and 1013 cm−1 are assigned to in-plane stretching vibrations of Si-O in the silicate network.
“In the spectrum of MMT, bands at 1117 cm⁻¹ and 1013 cm⁻¹ were assigned to in-plane stretching vibrations of Si-O in the silicate network”

Section 3.3 (FTIR analysis; page unavailable) assigns the 1117 and 1013 cm⁻¹ bands in the Cloisite 20A spectrum to Si–O stretching. It does not specify that the stretching is in-plane, and it reports the spectrum of Cloisite 20A rather than MMT generally. (LLM, conf=0.88)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredIn the FTIR spectrum of MMT, bands at 917 cm−1 and 883 cm−1 correspond to bending vibrations of Al-Al-OH and Al-Fe-OH groups, respectively.
“bands at 917 cm⁻¹ and 883 cm⁻¹ correspond to bending vibrations of Al-Al-OH and Al-Fe-OH groups, respectively[62,63].”
From Montmorillonite-reinforced methacrylated collagen/methacrylated silk fibroin hydrogel-based inks: rheological and physicochemical characterization for bone scaffold applications (2026) · cites this paper as [62]
Section 3.3 (FTIR analysis) and Table 5 list bands for Cloisite 20A, but neither assigns bands at 917 or 883 cm⁻¹ to Al-Al-OH or Al-Fe-OH bending. Searches for those wavenumbers and groups found no passage in our copy addressing the claimed assignments; page numbers were not available. (LLM, conf=0.76)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
