• Triple helix structure

• Density gradient

• Type of collagen fibrils (I, III, IV)

• Cross-linking

• Covalent bonds

• Porosity

• Hydrogen bonds

• Tanning proces

• Hydrophilic/-phobic interactions

• Fibre network

• Fatliquoring

• Non-metal elements

Match the following

• Triple helix structure

• the polar (attractive) interactions with water, influences the water-resistance and permeability properties of leather

• Hydrophobic interactions

• The chemical bonds that connect the polymer chains in elastomers, providing stability and memory of the relaxed state

• Type of Collagen

• The arrangement of three α polypeptide chains in a helical conformation that makes up the collagen molecules, which are the fundamental building blocks of the leather structure

• Hydrophilic interactions

• make up the fibrous structure of leather, with type I providing high strength and types III and IV forming the fine-grained structure of the grain

• Cross-linking

• the nonpolar (repellent) interactions with water, influences the water-resistance and permeability properties of leather

Match the following

• Porosity

• The chemical treatment that enhances the strength of leather by linking the collagen fibrils through the formation of chemical bonds, preventing the fibrils from moving apart

• Tanning process

• The variation in density from the grain (outer surface) to the reticular layer (reverse side) of the leather, with coarse fibres in the central region providing high strength

• Fibre network

• The measure of how tightly the woven structure of leather is, which affects its water vapour and air permeability

• Fatliquoring

• The highly cohesive three-dimensional structure of interweaving collagen fibre bundles that gives leather its distinctive properties

• Density Gradient

• The process of making the leather fibres and fibrils slippery, which improves the softness and physical properties of the material
