Cotton fabric was treated with pure silica sol and boron doped partner
through sol-gel method in order to improve its thermal and combustion
properties. The results of thermo-gravimetric analysis, micro combustion
calorimeter, and smoke density test of control showed that the finished
cotton fabric had excellent thermal stability and mild combustion behavior
with lower heat release rate. Furthermore, the smoke density test also
indicated the safety performance of the boron doped silica sol treated cotton
fabric in the fire.
