Research on the Microstructure of Leather/Resin Composites

Article Preview

Abstract:

Reuse of leather wastes has been paid much attention. In this article, the chrome tanned cattle (pig) leather and unsaturated polyester resin or epoxy resin were used as raw materials, leather/resin composite material was prepared. The composite sections were examined by optical microscope and environmental scanning electron microscope. By observing the cross section morphology, the performance of composites can be speculated, the effective direction for further research on leather/resin composites and development can be provided.
