The Influence of Organosilane on Physicochemical Characterization of Waste Leather Powder with Different Size

Abstract:

In order to reduce the pollution of the waste material, the waste leather powder tanned with vegetable tannin was used in this work, and vinyitrimethoxy silane was chosen as coupling agent. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to investigate the thermal properties of the powder sample. Both thermal decomposition temperature and denaturation temperature of the modified sample were higher than those of the raw samples due to the interaction between leather powder and silane, which can be demonstrated by Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (SEM-EDS) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). Additionally, the flowing property, hydrophilicity and water absorption rate of the powder samples was also examined. The results showed that the hydrophilicity and moisture absorption of the leather powder sample modified with silane was lower than the raw materials. And the flowing properties of the modified samples also decreased because of the coupling reaction of the flexible vinyitrimethoxy silane.
