2 INTRODUCTION Expanding the range of special shoes and improving their functional and performance requirements lead to a searching for new technological solutions. Nowadays the most promising, environmentally appropriate and economically sound solution of technology for leather industry is the formation of structure and properties of leather materials using composite materials based on natural minerals. A promising direction in the tanning industry is using of technologically efficient and ecologically friendly materials based on naturally occurring minerals.

3 CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ZEOLITE AND MONTMORILLONITE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE The frame structure of zeolite is given by general formula: (Me,O)(Al 2 O 3 )(SiO 2 )m nh 2 O. Physical and chemical characteristics, especially high thermal stability, suggest that as the modifier it will increase the heat resistance performance of adhesive joints. Porosity 34% Density 2,3g/cm 3 Specific surface area 413m 2 /g Content of the sorbent 70% Ion exchange capacity 1,5mg eq/g Humidity 4 6% Thermal stability up tо 700 С Size of micropores 0,3-2 nm Powder dispersion 0,08mm Cost 50 /t Frame-crystal lattice structure of zeolite. Zeolite has a solid frame tetrahedral skeleton with a system of cavities and channels.

4 Montmorillonite is a widespread clay mineral from the group of layered silicates. A characteristic feature of layered clay minerals in nature is the high dispersion; particle size is usually less than 1-10 microns. Montmorillonite - by the nature of the crystal lattice refers to a clay layered hydrated silicate of alumina of lamellar structure. The total active surface of montmorillonite ( m 2 /g) is a sum of external and internal area of basal planes. general formula (Na,Ca) 0.33 (Al,Mg) 2 (Si 4 O 10 )(OH) 2 nh 2 O

5 AIM OF RESEARCH The aim of this research is to establish and analyze properties of natural leather, filled with minerals during re-tanning processes. The second point is a prediction of their shape memory effect. Modified dispersions of natural MDM (mineral modification of montmorillonite) and MDZ (mineral modification of zeolite) in concentrations of 3% and 4% were used. Modification of montmorillonite and zeolite was performed with sodium polyphosphate in the amount of 10% by weight of dry mineral.

6 TESTING METHOD AND MATERIALS Chrome semi-finished product from cattle raw material (thickness 1,2 1,4mm), outgrowth (thickness 1,1 1,3mm) and pig leather lining (thickness 0,6 0,8mm) has been used for testing as objects of research. Experiments were conducted in accordance with standards concerning the discussed issues.

7 The main role of minerals in shaping the leather structure is: screening of functional groups and structural elements of the dermis collagen; preventing their gluing; making compact of different regular levels and topographical areas; creation of additional active sites of interaction with other chemical materials; forming the bulk structure of the leather.

20 CONCLUSIONS 1. Taking into account the physical and mechanical characteristics of modern natural and synthetic materials, their hygienic properties and economic effect of the use of them, we can conclude, that the leather for shoe uppers and rubber for the sole shoe still remains the most suitable in all respects for the footwear manufacturers. 2. Deformation properties are the most important of leather materials, because they determine the quality of basic technological operations of shoes, which determines the convenience of the product and shape retention during operation. 3. The results indicate the feasibility of using animal leather with mineral filling for making comfortable, environmentally friendly shoes for special purposes with high humidity, water, thermal and fire retardant properties. 4. The results of research can offer new competitive leather materials, which could be implemented in shoe production for special purposes.
