가공제의 종류에 따라 구분한 화학적 처리, 일반 효소 처리 및 바이오-테크 처리에 의해 제조된 나피를 이용하여 가공한 아닐린 유형의 유성혁, 크러스트혁과 도장혁의 물성을 조사하였다. 크러스트혁과 도장혁의 물성은 동일하게 나타난 반면 유성혁의 물성은 다른 경향을 보였다. 도장혁의 경우 세가지 처리 방법 모두 $1.2kg_f/mm^2$의 인장 강도, 30%의 신장률, $3.0kg_f/mm$의 인열 강도, $15kg_f$의 은면 균열 하중 및 2.5%의 크롬 함유량 이상을 나타내어 모두 한국산업규격의 물성을 만족하였다. 특히, 바이오-테크 처리시 다른 두 방법보다 혁의 물성이 뚜렷이 향상되었다. 이는 전자 현미경에 의한 혁의 표면 및 단면 검사와 영상 분석에 의한 모공 검사 결과로 잘 설명되어진다.

In this study, a chitosan based coating method was developed and applied on the shoe lining leather surface for evaluating its inhibition to bacterial and fungal attacks. At first, chitosan was prepared from raw prawn shells and then the prepared chitosan solution was applied onto the leather surface. Secondly, the characterization of the prepared chitosan and chitosan treated leather was performed by solubility test, ATR-FTIR, XRD pattern, SEM and TGA. Evaluation of antimicrobial efficacy of chitosan was assessed against two gram positive, two gram negative bacteria and a reputed fungi by agar diffusion test. The results of this study demonstrated that chitosan took place in both the surface of collagen fibres and inside the collagen matrix of crust leather. The chitosan showed strong antimicrobial activities against all the tested microorganisms and the inhibition increased with increasing percentage of chitosan. Therefore, the prepared chitosan in this study can be an environment friendly biocide, which functions simultaneously against different spoilage bacteria and fungi on the finished leather surface. Thus by using the prepared chitosan in shoe lining leather, the possibility of microbial attack during shoe wearing can be minimized which is one of the important hygienic requirements of footwear.
