Abstract Leather manufacturing process involves a lot of waste disposal which pollutes environment,
some of the processes are inevitable. In the present investigation, 3D printing technology was
used to reduce the wastage and to cover defective regions in leather. The present study focuses
on synthesis of acrylic binder using emulsion polymerization technique. These binders were
analysed for solid content for better optimisation of the amount of binder to be utilised for
finishing operation. The experimental binder was prepared with 26% solids. Particle size and
thermogravimetric analyses were carried out to understand the size and shape of… More >
