Page 4817, Fig. 5 unfortunately comprises data on the residual weight of uncoated fibres that were assigned to incorrect values of the abscissa. The correct diagram is given below.

Fig. 5

Thermogravimetric analysis of uncoated and coated fibers in synthetic air. The specimens were heated to the desired temperature (700 or 900 °C, indicated by thin vertical lines) with a constant heating rate of 5°C/min and subsequently held at that temperature

The text passage on page 4818, column 1, paragraph 1, “The uncoated fibers start to lose weight at approximately 300 °C, whereas the coated fibers start to lose weight at approximately 700 °C.” should read instead: “The uncoated fibers start to lose weight at approximately 630 °C, whereas the coated fibers start to lose weight at approximately 660 °C.”
