Leather waste (BF) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) were compounded in a lab scale internal mixer and processed by means of injection molding. In this study, leather waste and HDPE composites were characterized by instrumental techniques such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermo-gravimetric Analysis (TGA), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Physical integrity of composites against chemical exposure and chromium-leaching properties of the composites were also investigated. This study shows that the incorporation of 30% leather waste fiber into HDPE composites decreases the thermal conductivity of the composite samples by 17% in comparison to that of neat HDPE samples. Composites showed no thermal degradation during processing cycle. Strong interfacial bonding between leather waste and polymer results in comparable low-leachate levels to maximum allowed concentration for nonhazardous waste, and good chemical resistance properties. The BF/HDPE composites could be a promising low-cost alternative in industrial application areas of HDPE, where high-mechanical strength and low-thermal conductivity is required.

“…Among the different concentrations of SiO 2 used, 3% (w/v) provided significant mechanical properties of the smooth‐surfaced fabric composites, which may find application in medical textiles. Senthil et al [19] reported that composites in fabric form containing nanoparticles, cotton fibre and leather fibre played an important role in enhancing the antimicrobial activity and good mechanical properties.…”

Manufacture of microbe-resistant clothing is the need of the hour especially in microbe sensitive environments such as hospitals. Silica nanoparticles (SiO 2) were prepared from xerogels synthesised from cotton pods. In the present work, a novel fabric was prepared using SiO 2 , non-woven cotton fabrics and polyethylene glycol (PEG). Different types of fabrics were prepared by incorporating different concentrations of the SiO 2. Among the fabrics, 3% exhibited significant antimicrobial activity. The smooth surface morphologies of the fabric were proved by scanning electron microscopy. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy spectrum of fabric represented the characteristic bands of all the components, i.e. SiO 2 , PEG and cotton fibre. A potential fabric, which possesses microbe-resistant property, and hence they could be of promising use in medical cloths production.

“…Compared with the recycled leather (RCL), the as-prepared RCL-PFs composite boards showed better tensile strength, which might be used as raw material for the preparation of light consumer goods [143]. Senthil et al [144] produced regenerated leather composites (RLCs) by incorporating plant fibers into regenerated leather which was prepared from used leather products. For the preparation of RLCs, to enhance its mechanical properties, different kinds of PFs were used, including coconut fibers (CTF), sugarcane fibers, banana fibers and corn fibers.…”

“…The indexes of tensile strength, elongation at break, tearing strength, water desorption and flexibility for these prepared RLCs were evaluated and excellent performance was exhibited by using leather fiber/CTF (50:40 ratio). Moreover, these prepared RLCs have promising application values in footwear and leather goods industry [144]. Besides, the same group [145] used leather fibers extracted from finished leather wastes mixing with cotton fiber and polyester fiber to prepare composites, which were subsequently produced leather blended yarns (LBYs) and leather blended fabric (LBFs).…”

Leather making is the process of converting raw hides into leather. Amounts of solid waste containing hazardous and high value components are generated during this process. Therefore, the elimination of the potential pollution and resource utilization of leather solid waste are the primary research hotspots. Herein, we comprehensively review the recent advances in the resource utilization of leather solid waste generated from chrome tanning including the utilization of tannery hair waste, untanned solid waste, chrome-containing leather solid waste, tannery sludge and finished leather waste, emphasizing on the general and novel utilization approaches. Finally, the remaining challenges and perspectives were summarized, in order to accelerate the development of resource utilization of leather solid waste.
