Keeping this objective in view, a composite material, in board form, was developed using leather buffing dust (BD), a collagenous solid waste from the leather industry. Leather boards were prepared using natural rubber latex (NRL) as the binder. Different concentrations of NRL were used to find out the optimum concentration which gave better mechanical properties. The prepared leather boards were characterised using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermo gravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy. Leather boards prepared using 400g of BD: 450mL of NRL possessed better mechanical properties viz. tensile strength, elongation at break (%), flexural strength, tearing strength, etc. Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2014 Leather buffing dust nationallicence Natural rubber latex nationallicence Leather boards nationallicence Composite nationallicence BD : Buffing dust nationallicence LB : Leather boards nationallicence NRL : Natural rubber latex nationallicence FTIR : Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy nationallicence TGA : Thermo gravimetric analysis nationallicence SEM : Scanning electron microscopy nationallicence Senthil Rethinam Bioproducts Laboratory, Central Leather Research Institute, 600 020, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India aut Hemalatha Thiagarajan Bioproducts Laboratory, Central Leather Research Institute, 600 020, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India aut Manikandan Ramasamy Bioproducts Laboratory, Central Leather Research Institute, 600 020, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India aut Das Bhabendra Shoe Design and Development Centre, Central Leather Research Institute, 600 020, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India aut Sastry Thotapalli Bioproducts Laboratory, Central Leather Research Institute, 600 020, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India aut Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy Springer Berlin Heidelberg 17/2(2015-02-01), 571-576 1618-954X 17:2<571 2015 17 10098 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10098-014-0831-7 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI BK010053 XK010053 XK010000 Metadata rights reserved Springer special CC-BY-NC licence nationallicence 1 research-article jats NATIONALLICENCE NATIONALLICENCE NL-springer NATIONALLICENCE 856 40 https://doi.org/10.1007/s10098-014-0831-7 text/html Onlinezugriff via DOI NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Senthil Rethinam Bioproducts Laboratory, Central Leather Research Institute, 600 020, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Hemalatha Thiagarajan Bioproducts Laboratory, Central Leather Research Institute, 600 020, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Manikandan Ramasamy Bioproducts Laboratory, Central Leather Research Institute, 600 020, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Das Bhabendra Shoe Design and Development Centre, Central Leather Research Institute, 600 020, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India aut NATIONALLICENCE 700 1- Sastry Thotapalli Bioproducts Laboratory, Central Leather Research Institute, 600 020, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India aut NATIONALLICENCE 773 0- Clean Technologies and Environmental Policy Springer Berlin Heidelberg 17/2(2015-02-01), 571-576 1618-954X 17:2<571 2015 17 10098
