摘要 从成品皮革废料中制备类皮革材料，即再生皮革（RGL）既经济又有助于减少环境污染。将植物纤维 (PF) 纳入 RGL 中可增强其机械性能。植物纤维具有成本低、机械性能好、比强度高、无磨损、环保、可生物降解等特点，被用作增强材料。将纤维化皮革废料和PF以不同比例混合制备再生皮革复合材料（RLC）。该研究使用植物纤维，即椰子、甘蔗、香蕉和玉米丝。使用傅里叶变换红外光谱、热重分析和扫描电子显微镜对 RGL 和 RLC 进行物理化学表征。结果清楚地表明，PF 显着改善了 RLC 的机械和热性能。在这些复合材料中，使用皮革废料和椰子纤维（50：40的比例）制备的RLC被证明是一种性能更好的复合材料。 RLC除了具有成本效益和减少环境污染之外，在皮革制品和鞋类材料的制备方面也很有前景。图形摘要
AbstractPreparation of leather like material, i.e., regenerated leather (RGL) from finished leather wastes is economical and helps in reducing environmental pollution. Incorporating plant fibers (PFs) into RGL enhances its mechanical properties. Plant fibers are exploited as reinforcement materials owing to their low cost, fairly good mechanical properties, high specific strength, non-abrasive, eco-friendly and bio-degradability characteristics. Fiberized leather wastes and PFs were mixed in various proportions to prepare regenerated leather composites (RLCs). Plant fibers viz., coconut, sugarcane, banana and corn silk were used for the study. RGL and RLCs were characterized physicochemically using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermo gravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Results clearly portrayed that PFs significantly improved the mechanical and thermal properties of RLCs. Among the composites, RLC prepared using leather waste and coconut fiber (50:40 ratio) proved to be a better composite with potent properties. RLCs are promising for the preparation of leather goods and footwear materials in addition to its cost-effectiveness and environmental pollution abatement.Graphical Abstract
