… The tanned mycelial leather alternative also exhibits excellent thermal stability exceeding 1500C. The tanning mechanism was investigated, and the environmental impact of the obtained mycelial leather alternative were evaluated. It showed a soil biodegradation …
Open original PDFGrowing environmental concerns and strict regulation on the use of synthetic dyes have increased interest in eco-friendly and sustainable alternatives for leather processing. Natural dyes derived from plant sources offer a biodegradable, non …
Open original PDFWaste from leather industries poses a significant challenge to the environment. Research towards reducing this waste will have an additional significance if it leads to the production of value-added product(s). Hair waste …
Open original PDFCollagen is regarded as important biomaterial in biomedical and cosmetic applications due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability. Glycerol, a polar green solvent, enhances collagen stability by substituting water molecules in the hydration shell, maintaining …
Open original PDF… With advances in polymer science and technology, many new materials are now replacing leather. Appearance-wise, these materials are so similar that even an experienced leather technologist may find it difficult to distinguish them …
Open original PDFIn conventional leather processing technology, bovine hair contains 95% keratin protein. The hair is eliminated from the skin by using many chemicals in the lime hair removal bath and released into the environment as …
Open original PDF… recycling, and thereby a low COD value and a high biodegradability of wastewaters. Thanks to the use of natural performing tannins, the leathers are tear-resistant- with a high light and heat fastness, exhibiting …
Open original PDFThe content of formaldehyde in leather is determined by chromatographic (HPLC) or colorimetric analysis after extraction with a water solution of a surfactant and subsequent derivatization. Both the extraction and the derivatization procedure are …
Open original PDF… releases polysaccharides, polyphenols and saponins from longan seeds; selective periodate oxidation converts these extracts into a novel, biodegradable, chromium-free tanning agent, providing a sustainable alternative for the leather industry and valorising agro-waste.
Open original PDF… Hydrogen-bonding and electrostatic interactions between the ZrP NPs and collagen fibers stabilized the collagen fibers, enabling hierarchical incorporations of ZrP NPs with the leather matrix. Moreover, we propose a mixed-dimensional materials design …
