Structural, thermal and morphological characterization of UV-graft polymerization of acrylated-epoxidized soybean oil onto goat leather
Graft of acrylated-epoxidized soybean oil onto goat leather was achieved using UV-radiation. Graft percentage, structural, morphological and thermal characterizations are discussed in terms of: morphology of the leather grafted face and the UV-radiation dosage. The obtained results are of importance since an environmental friendly monomer could be used to change or improve some properties of leather articles.
