| dc.description.abstract | The chemical and physical characteristics of the goat skins are essential to make glove leathers. The characteristic of skin can be analyzed by using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), light microscope and studying histological structure of the skin as well as through various chemical characteristics. The fiber opening operation as well as the post tanning auxiliaries like syntans and fatliquors are known to significantly influence the properties of glove leathers. The right choice of lyotropic agents, fatliquors and syntans are critical to obtain the leathers with good gloving property. Hence, in this thesis an attempt has been made to study the physico-chemical properties of the skin and to study systematically the influence of various lyotropic agents, fatliqours and syntans on the gloving properties of leather made from goat skins. Care was taken to ensure that the properties of gloving leathers viz.run, softness, strength properties and other subjective properties like smoothness and stretch based on the physico-chemical properties of the skin were obtained. | en_US |
