Sintering has been used to produce a porous polytetrafluoroethylene (16). Cellulose sponges are the most familiar cellular polymers produced by the leaching process (123). Sodium sulfate crystals are dispersed in the viscose symp and subsequently leached out. Polyethylene (124) or poly(vinyl chloride) can also be produced in cellular form by the leaching process. The artificial leather-tike materials used for shoe uppers are rendered porous by extraction of salts (125) or by designing the polymers in such a way that they precipitate as a gel with many holes (126). 

Amino acid polymers like poly(y-methyl-L-glutamate) [29967-97-3] h.a.ve been developed as raw materials for artificial leathers (see Leatherlike materials). Derivatives of amino acids are now finding new appHcations in industry and agriculture.

A great variety of PVC materials have been tested in the process thus far cable, cable trays, flooring material, window frames, artificial leather, packaging, pipes, flexible hoses, ring binders and roofing material. This indicates that the process is robust and can handle a broad range of PVC materials. In terms of chlorine content, there are no restrictions. With the completion of the pretreatment pilot plant, the contents of other plastics and metals may now be reduced significantly.

Tannio acid seems to form combinations with solutions of sterch, giving a greyish-white flaky precipitate, which becomes transparent in the heat, but reappears in the usual form as the liquid cools. This acid decolors the blue iodide of starch, and when present in sufficient quantity it prevents the entire decomposition of focula by means of diastase. The reaction contributes in part to the formation of artificial leather on Claus-SBN s principle, as already detailed in this work. 

The most important and established use for pigments is the imparting of color to a variety of materials and compositions. Examples are surface coalings for exteriors and interiors of automobiles and houses wilh odor water-based paints W ood stains, leather and artificial leather finishes, printing inks and many other applications. 

Castor Oil, Oxidized, Heating of castor oils in intimate contact with air or oxygen at temps of 80 to 130°, with or wo a catalyst, produce oils of high viscosity and higher d, than untreated castor oils. The oxidized oils, known also as "blown oils are used as plasticizers in lacquers, artificial leathers, oil cloths and similar products (Ref 5,p 241). It was claimed by Nakamura (AddnlRef d) that a small quantity of peroxide was formed when castor oil was treated with air at ca 155°. Mondain-Monval Marteau(Addnl Ref e) claimed that direct oxidation of castor oil (as well as of some other vegetable oils) by air in a heated glass tube also produced peroxides Refs l)Daniel(1902), 472 2)Thorpe 2(1938), 420-22 3)CondChemDict(1942), 288(Cheddites) 4)Davis( 1943), 258, 269, 358-60 365 5)Kirk Othmer 3(1949), 237-44 6)Izzo, Pirotecnia(1950), 226-7 239 7)Kirk Othmer 11(1953), 323 8) Sax(1957), 444(Toxicity fire hazard of castor oil) 9)CondChemDict(1961), 229 10)US...

Spreading is the main method for making artificial leather. It comprises material spreading onto a moving fabric belt with a spreading knife or smearing roller 4>. 

Spreading (smearing) is the most widely used and well-studied method of plastisot processing for making linoleum, artificial leathers, wire enameling, etc. Descriptions of the process and its quantitative analysis may be found elsewhere3-4 31>. 

Caprolactone is claimed as a component in one-paste-type resin compositions for denture bases <2002JPP2002104912> and e-caprolactone copolymers are suggested as components in polyurethane-based multilayered artificial leather sheets <2004JPP2004250808, 2004JPP2004250809>. 

The polyurethane (PU) can be considered an environment-friendly material because the urethane bond resembles the amide bond, which implies possible biodegradability. It can be used in various elastomer formulations, paints, adhesives for polymers and glass, and artificial leather as well as in biomedical and cosmetic fields. Polyurethane spheres were prepared from 20/40% of PU prepolymer solution in xylene [91]. PU droplets were formed in water with the SPG membrane of different pore size (1.5-9.5 pm) and then polymerized to form the final microspheres. Finally, spherical and solid PU particles of 5 pm were obtained after the removal of the solvent. In another study, Ma et al. reported the formation of uniform polyurethane-vinylpolymer (PUU-VP) hybrid microspheres of about 20 pm, prepared using SPG membranes and a subsequent radical suspension polymerization process [92], The prepolymers were solubilized in xylene and pressed through the SPG membrane into the continuous phase containing a stabilizer to form uniform droplets. The droplets were left for chain extension at room temperature for some hours with di- and triamines by suspension polymerization at 70 °C for 24h. Solid and spherical PU-VP hybrid particles with a smooth surface and a higher destructive strength were obtained. 

Polyvinylchloride (PVC) is a hard, amorphous polymer which softens at about 85 °C. Also in PVC rubbers are sometimes added in order to improve the impact strength. The main applications of PVC are pipes, gutters, front panels of buildings, cables, bottles, floor tiles. A much softer and more flexible material is obtained by blending with plasticizers soft or plasticized PVC is being used in artificial leather, tubes and hoses, footwear, films, etc. 

Uses n-Butyl alcohol is used extensively in a number of industries. For instance, it is used as a solvent in industries associated with the manufacture of paints, varnishes, synthetic resins, gums, pharmaceuticals, vegetable oils, dyes, and alkaloids. n-Butyl alcohol also finds use in the manufacture of artificial leather, rubber, and plastic cements, shellac, raincoats, perfumes, and photographic films. 

Uses Methyl alcohol is a clear, colorless liquid with a slight alcoholic odor. It is used in the synthesis of formaldehyde, methylamine, ethylene glycol, methacrylates, and as an industrial solvent for a number of products (e.g., inks, resins, adhesives, dyes for straw hats). Methyl alcohol is an important ingredient commonly used to prepare grease and dirt remover. It also is used in the manufacture of photographic films, plastics, celluloid, textile soaps, wood stains, coated fabrics, paper coatings, artificial leather, and other industrial products.
