Why would a person wearing a nylon shirt may suffer more severe burns than a person wearing a cotton shirt in case of catching fire?

Answers

Answered by acharyagautam1920

Answer:

Polyester and nylon melt rather than catch fire, and pull away from the flame. If these materials catch fire, they burn more slowly than cotton and the flame often goes out by itself. Because polyester and nylon melt, the burns they cause are often deeper, but over a smaller area.
