The experimental results revealed that the tear strength of leather was affected by the crosslinking agents, which could be further adjusted by the filler. Accordingly, a simple method using mercury intrusion porosimetry has been proposed for determining the FB size based on the crack-bridging model. Specifically, the tear strength of leather showed a strong correlation with the FB radius where the strength increased with the decrease in FB radius.

The identification of peptide with haematopoietic activity to ensure the efficiency of functional foods remains challenging because of the vast combinatorial potential of short peptides from collagen hydrolysates. In the present study, we identified a novel marker peptide (the I-1 peptide, GAAGLpGPK, p: hydroxyproline) for type I collagen with haematopoietic capabilities via theoretical sequence analysis and computational prediction of activity. The I-1 peptide was shown to increase the survival rate of haematopoietic stem cells following injury induced by 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), increasing the survival rate from 65.40 to 105.28%, thereby exhibiting significant haematopoietic activity. More importantly, the mechanism underlying the haematopoietic activity of the I-1 peptide was analogous to activate the JAK/STAT signalling pathway mediated by granulocyte‒macrophage colony‒stimulating factor. On this basis, a high-precision method for the detection of type I collagen hydrolysates was developed using the I-1 peptide (relative standard deviation = 1.57%).

Binary images with white pixels corresponding to the coordinates were generated, and their PHs were computed using filtration based on the Manhattan distance. In addition to the pairwise distance between the two pores, zeroth- and first-order lifetimes were used as explanatory variables to construct the classifier. Among the three explanatory variables, the zeroth-order lifetime resulted in the highest classification accuracy (86%) for the test data. Furthermore, we constructed logistic regression (LR) and random forest (RF) models using the zeroth-order lifetime computed from all images and conducted model interpretation. In both LR and RF, information on a zeroth-order lifetime of less than 10 was used as an important explanatory variable. Additionally, the inverse analysis of birth–death pairs suggested that the zeroth-order lifetime contains topological information distinct from the conventional pairwise distance. Our proposed method is designed to be robust in data-limited situations because it only uses hair pore coordinates as explanatory variables and does not require other information, such as hair pore density or pore size.

However, the incompatibility between NR and BR as well as the non-uniform distribution of fillers often have an adverse impact on the mechanical properties. Herein, we propose a facile approach to modulate the multi-scale structures in NR/BR blends including polymer compatibility and filler distribution by introducing ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) with varying vinyl acetate (VA) content as multifunctional compatibilizers. The results indicate that the cure characteristics (i.e., processability) and mechanical properties of NR/BR blends can be readily tailored through adjustment of the VA content in EVA. When the VA content in EVA is increased to 18% (EVA-18), the NR/BR blends simultaneously exhibit favorable processability and mechanical properties. The microstructural analysis demonstrates that the introduction of EVA-18 not only enhances the compatibility between NR and BR with significantly reduced domain size, but also improves fillers dispersion in the rubber matrix. The presence of EVA-18 at concentrations up to 20 parts per hundred of rubber (phr) in NR/BR vulcanizates improves the mechanical properties by approximately 24% compared to un-compatibilized NR/BR vulcanizates, which is superior to the most present studies. This work will be beneficial for the development of NR/BR blends in the industry and provide a guideline for designing efficient compatibilizers for other immiscible rubber blends.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":640,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Leather Science and Engineering","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://JLSE.SpringerOpen.com/counter/pdf/10.1186/s42825-024-00181-7","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143107776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
