The Principles of Leather Manufacture by H. R. Procter
The famous reference source H. R. Procter, The Principles of
Leather Manufacture, explores chemistry and the processes undertaken in the
manufacture of leather. Starting with a general overview relating to the
historical background and introduction concepts in leather manufacture, it
points to where the role of the living cell plays, the causative agents for
putrefaction, and also to antiseptics and disinfectants. It also covers the
chemical content of hides, the structure and growth of skin, and the
chemical processes by which it gets tanned - alum, chrome, and vegetable
tanning. The book also goes into the matter of physical chemistry of the
fibers of hides and water treatment in tanneries and methods for depilation,
deliming, and bating. The book is very valuable for any readers interested
in the chemical processes involved in leathering, giving both theoretical
knowledge and some practical insight into the tanning industry.
The book is for students and offers an accessible introduction to
advanced material chemistry. The book is written in simple and
easy-to-understand language and focuses on self-learning, as students are
expected to penetrate the complex concepts of material science. It stresses
the role of materials chemistry in developing new technologies and materials
with specific properties for various applications. This book discusses
synthesis, characterization, and application with various materials and
their structural and chemical behaviors. The students shall be enlightened
on the advanced developments in material chemistry. Students will find a
firm foundation for further subjects through this text, which is perfect for
beginners and intermediate learners who wish to deepen their understanding
of the subject.

This University of York course
revolves around various issues concerning inorganic materials chemistry-
synthesis and characterization of solid-state materials. The course teaches the
methods of synthesis and analyses of inorganic compounds. It also covers the key
structural properties of solids. This book is published on magnetism,
specifically cooperative magnetism and dielectric properties describing
interactions between solids and electric fields. It also dwells on
superconductivity, one of the most important phenomena for materials science and
technology. This resource is appropriate for students and researchers who are
interested in the chemistry of inorganic materials as applied in electronics,
energy storage, and magnetic materials.
