Fabrication of modified hydrogenated castor oil/GPTMS-ZnO composites and effect on UV resistance of leather

Abstract Leather products are made from the natural skin collagen fibers. It is vulnerable to the environmental factor such as solar ultraviolet irradiation in the using process. Therefore anti-UV performance is a very important quality, particularly for chrome-free leather. ZnO is a well-known UV a...
