Abstract
Radiation cured coatings for leather have been discussed in a series of publications (1–10). Somewhat less attention has been focused on the use of radiation polymerization of vinyl monomers within the leather to modify its properties in spite of an early suggestion by Buechler (1, 3) that this should also be possible and should be considered for full grain (unbuffed) leathers.
