Résumé : |
Collagen fibre bundles, which are the structural components of skin and leather, are organized in a variety of ways. Each species of animal has a characteristic arrangement, although in many cases they are similar. In animals which are commonly used for leather production, such as cattle and sheep, the arrangement of the fibre bundles has been well studied, and the existence of a relationship between the fibre bundle orientation and the physical properties of the leather is recognized. Diseases of the collagen may also have a profound effect on skin strenth. The strength of leather depends therefore on the arrangement of the collagen fibre bundles and, presumably also on the strength of the collagen itself.
Although kangaroo leather has not been studied to the same extent as the more commonly used leathers, recent studies on its physical properties and stratigraphic strength analysis have shown that there are differences between kangaroo and other leathers. To ensure that full use may be made of its capabilities, a better understanding of its structure is needed. This paper reports a histological study of kangaroo leather and compares it with bovine leather. |
