Nanomaterials for Leather Production

Leather is used to make various daily life goods including footwear, clothing, automobile seats, furniture, etc. from prehistoric time. Various defects can occur either due failure of controlling the factors processing or low grade raw material both. The tanned leathers are, before use, necessarily being passed through different processes re-tanning, filling, coating surface with dyes, and other functional materials for protecting leather. Nanoparticles natural synthetic polymers, metal ions, oxides, have been finishing leather in providing them adequate quality as per demand buyers. In this chapter, potential using nanomaterials steps are focused.
