The effect of varying processing temperatures (200, 220 and 240°C) on the thermal and mechanical properties of uncoated and epoxy-coated chrome-tanned leather wastes-ABS composites has been studied. The results obtained showed that the mechanical properties of the composites decreased as the processing temperature increased. Epoxy-coated leather wastes fibre-ABS (CLWABS) composite yielded better mechanical properties compared to the uncoated leather wastes-ABS composite (LWABS). These results were obtained at an optimized processing temperature of 200°C. Furthermore, the results were confirmed by the field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) studies. The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies revealed that the epoxy-coated leather wastes fibres (CLW) showed higher onset and melting temperatures of 131.8 and 179.35°C than the uncoated leather wastes fibres (LW) with glass transition (Tg) and melting (Tm) temperatures of 128.2 and 169.4°C, respectively. When the LW and CLW fibres were mixed with Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), the Tg and Tm of CLWABS composite were found to be 94.9 and 269.8°C, respectively, higher than the LWABS composite with Tg and Tm of 89.1 and 261.6°C, respectively. Thus, this study has demonstrated that utilization of epoxy-coated chrome-tanned leather wastes fibres as fillers in the design of ABS-based composites will help a great deal in addressing the problem of solid waste pollutants in our environment.

The paper presents how a robotic gripper specific for grasping and handling of textiles and soft flexible layers can be miniaturized and improved by polymeric additive manufacturing-oriented re-design. Advantages of polymeric additive manufacturing are to allow a re-design of components with integrated functions, to be cost-effective equipment for small batches production and the availability of suitable materials for many applications. The drawback is that for design validation extended testing is still necessary because of lacks in standardization and that the mechanical properties are building parameters dependent. The outcomes are a lower complexity of the design overall and lower number of components. These are pursued taking advantage of the anisotropy of the additive manufacturing processed polymer and assigning appropriate shapes and linkages in the mechanisms. Set of common materials (polylactide, polyethylene terephthalate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) and technical (acrylonitrile styrene acrylate, polycarbonate/polybutylene terephthalate blend) are tested to obtain data for the modelling.
