Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This paper is interesting with moderate novelty in the field. However, authors should improve the paper according to following lines:

1- XRD of samples should be provided before and after treatment.

2- Thermal properties and flammability of samples should be tested. Phosphonate based derivative materials have been recently reported for cotton as flame proof and thermal resistant component. These studies was not reported in this article. Also the effect of coating on these properties of PLA should be reported and compared with those studies.

3- The effect of coating on contact angle and moisture absorption properties of PLA should also be tested.
