This review focuses on the SAXS and WAXS analysis of the collagen structure of leather, from pioneering works through to recent developments. X-ray scattering can be used to investigate the structural features of fibrillar collagen in the leather matrix, including axial periodicity, fibril diameter, chemical fixation, hydration and fibrillar orientation. Key properties of leather, such as appearance, handle, strength, hydrothermal stability and resistance to putrefaction, are closely linked to…

In situ structural studies during denaturation of natural and synthetically crosslinked collagen using synchrotron SAXS.
TLDR
The results showed that, although natural crosslinks affected the denaturation temperature of collagen, they were largely weakened when crosslinked using chromium sulfate, suggesting the development of synergistic crosslinking chemistries could help retain the intrinsic chemical and physical properties of collagen-based biological materials.

Effect of Dialdehyde Carboxymethyl Cellulose Cross-Linking on the Porous Structure of the Collagen Matrix.
TLDR
The desired pore properties of the collagen matrix could be obtained by regulating the structure of DCMC and thereby achieving the required functions of the biomaterial.

Optical Imaging of Dynamic Collagen Processes in Health and Disease
TLDR
An understanding of the underlying optical properties of collagen that can be leveraged for extracellular matrix visualization and emerging opportunities for machine learning approaches to drive multiscale and multimodality solutions are provided.
Characterization and application of dried neem leaf powder as a bio-additive for salt less animal skin preservation for tanneries
TLDR
The results demonstrate DNL-aided salt less preservation method is able to reduce the amount of salt for preservation of goat skins significantly, leading to reduced salinity issues during leather processing.

TLDR
Synchrotron based SAXS is used to characterize the fibrous collagen structure in a series of ovine and bovine leathers and to relate it to tear strength, providing a clear understanding of a nanostructural characteristic of ovines and bovoens that leads to differences in strength.
