Abstract
The thermomechanical analysis is applied to characterize the shrinking proc ess of bovine chrome leather. The interpretation of the curves obtained is performed and a value of glass transition temperature is estimated. The inf luence of the sampling zone on the thermomechanical parameters is discussed . The influence of different "retanning agents," which act as crosslinking compounds on the fibrous structure of collagen, is also evaluated. (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
