Notes:
Leather shavings have been used as filler in short fibre form for nitrile rubber reinforcement. Shavings neutralized with sodium bicarbonate and ammonia showed improved vulcanization characteristics and mechanical properties, whereas sodium hydroxide neutralized shavings exhibited poor properties. Swelling of the vulcanizates in water and 1% NaOH was found to increase with leather loading, whereas in MEK a reversed trend was observed. Thermogravimetric analysis indicates that the thermal stabilities of the vulcanizates fall between those of pure leather and gum nitrile rubber vulcanizate.
