Researchers at Texas A&M University have developed a groundbreaking technology to significantly reduce the flammability of cotton.
The technology involves a one-step application of polyelectrolyte complex coating.
The new technology offers a revolutionary method to tackle the flammability of materials commonly found in clothing and upholstery.
The potential environmental impact and human health concerns are raised about current flame retardant treatments that include toxic substances.
The technology utilized by researchers is non-toxic, offering a safer alternative for manufacturing processes.
The results showed marked improvements in enhancing cotton's fire resistance.
The research team plans to collaborate with various companies to extend the use of this coating to a broader range of materials.
The widespread adoption of this technology will lead to the construction of safer environments in residential and commercial buildings.
The quest for fire-retardant technologies permeates numerous domains, highlighting the importance of staying ahead of the curve in material science research.
The exploration of polyelectrolyte complexes applied to cotton broadens our understanding of material properties and safety standards.
