Description:The manufacture of artifi cial leather using polymeric systems is a vital component as an essential commodity for consumer, industrial and automobile applications. Both practical and exciting possibilities to the standard traditional coatings with PVC and polyurethanes with newer coatings of silicone and graphene induced coatings, and economical biomass materials as non-traditional fi llers, stiffening and softening agents are discussed. In-depth knowledge of all aspects of manufacture based on actual current practices. Analysis of each component, new concepts in formulating different types of coatings, and raw materials from emerging technologies will be discussed.
