Null Hypothesis

There are no significant differences among

the flammability of the product mixed with
nanosilica.
The use of nanosilica derived
from rice husk has no
significant effect on the cotton
to produce a fabric with The produced cotton-modified fabric has
hydrophobic properties. no significant difference with ordinary
cotton.

Scope and Limitation

•Rice husks will be obtained from

Taysan, Batangas.
•The synthesized nanosilica will
undergo characterization tests.
•Cotton will be procured from the
market as well as the polydopamine.
•The focus will be only on the
modification of the cotton to improve
its properties.
