Compression and fracture behavior of leather particulate reinforced polymer composites

Strategies are suggested for the waste utilization of industrial leather by preparing composites with epoxy and high-density polyethylene (HDPE). The addition of leather improves the average specific compression toughness of epoxy by 29%. The fracture surface analysis suggests the incorporation of l...
