Tanning Chemistry: The Science of Leather

Providing excellent insight into the role of science in leather production, the first edition of this textbook was adopted for students and leather chemists. With a new co-author added, the text has been reviewed and brought up to date with regards to developments in technology and science over the last ten year. The revised text importantly reflects changes in the industry and deals with the need to increase sustainable production. Five new chapters are added, dealing with new science and technologies of reagent delivery, the polymer science of finishing (surface coatings), environmental impact and the future of processing.
