Amphiphilic block and random copolymers: aggregation and hydrophobic modification on metal-free tanned collagen fibers

Abstract Hydrophobicity enhancement of metal-free leather, which is crucial for improving its comprehensive performance, can be achieved by using amphiphilic copolymer retanning agents. However, the relationship between the sequential structure and the hydrophobic modification effect of amphiphilic...
