References and Abstracts Item 138 Macplas International Nov. 1998, p.80-1 ELASTOMERS AND POLYURETHANES FOR FOOTWEAR A review is presented of the materials and machinery exhibited at Simac 98 for use in the production of footwear. In particular, the use of polyurethanes is described, and details are also given of the use of polyolefin elastomers in footwear foams, industrial and outdoor boots and casual and sports shoes, where these materials are claimed to offer the highest processing and performance value. EUROPEAN COMMUNITY; EUROPEAN UNION; ITALY; WESTERN EUROPE Accession no.720566 Item 139 Kunststoff Journal 29, No.1, Feb.1995, p.28-30 German BRIGHTER SIDE OF RECYCLING Examples of products made from recycled plastics are reviewed. In addition to the products made traditionally from recycled materials, such as park benches and noise insulation walls, attention is also directed at rain water collectors made from polyethylene recyclate, the AEG vacuum cleaner made from 40% recycled plastic, gymnasium and sports mats made from recycled rubber and plastic, and refuse containers made from recycled PE.

The cooperation with Ferrari is discussed regarding the development of this tyre and fitting it to high-performance sports cars as they come off the assembly line. The results of tests in Fiorano are examined including details of performance on the track, traction, directional stability, handling, tread pattern and acceleration. Other aspects discussed cover high speed and grip as well as the technology transfer from Formula 1 to the development of tyres for the road.

References and Abstracts Item 144 Chemical and Engineering News 77, No.7, 15th Feb.1999, p.70 WHAT’S THAT STUFF? Reisch M Spandex is a long-chain synthetic polymeric fibre. Soft and rubbery segments of polyester or polyether polyols allow the fibre to stretch up to 600% and then recover its original shape. Hard segments, usually urethanes or urethane-ureas, impart tensile strength. DuPont’s spandex fibre, marketed as Lycra, has annual sales of more than 1.5bn US dollars. Ladies’ underwear is still the foundation of the spandex business, but the fibre now features in sports clothing. DUPONT CO.

JAPAN Accession no.713612 Item 146 Engineering Design No.3, 1998, p.6-8 JUST STEP IN, PUSH DOWN, AND GO Luthi J Dolder AG Fritschi has developed the easy-to-open, easy-to-close Crocodile range of snowboard bindings, using three DuPont engineering polymers for almost all of the structural components of the binding. For example, the hi-back and straps are made of Hytrel thermoplastic polyester elastomer, the base is made of Zytel nylon and Delrin acetal is used for the two buckles.

Boston, Mas., 23rd-27th Aug.1998, p.126-7. 012 ADVANCED THERMOPLASTIC VULCANISATES BONDABLE TO NYLON Sadeghi R; O’Connell M; Clare D DSM Thermoplastic Elastomers Inc. Power tools, electronics, appliances and sports goods demand soft-touch surfaces for ergonomics, personal comfort and styling. In these applications, low hardness adhesive thermoplastic vulcanisates (TPVs) can be utilised. TPVs based on PP and EPDM are non-polar in nature, which makes their adhesion to polar materials such as nylon a considerable challenge. In the past, mechanical interlocking was used to produce overmoulded TPVs onto the polar substrates used in these applications. Today, a new generation of TPVs can bond to nylon 6, 66, nylon blends with ABS and/or PP. These materials can be processed via insert injection moulding, two-shot injection moulding, and coextrusion. These nylon bondable grades are based on Sarlink 3000 series technology and offer characteristics similar to the 3000 series products. These new products offer excellent temperature and fluid resistance properties similar to the standard TPVs. The concept of a new TPV bondable to nylon offers design engineers vast new options in designing combinations of soft skin to hard segment applications.

Boston, Mas., 23rd-27th Aug.1998, p.25-6. 012 POLYMERISATION AND DYNAMIC TESTING OF DIFUNCTIONAL ACRYLIC METAL SALTS IN A POLYBUTADIENE GOLF BALL CENTRE Kennedy T J Spalding Sports Worldwide Golf ball construction has changed many times during the course of history. The cover has changed from leather to gutta percha rubber to balata rubber to ionomer blends. The golf ball core has changed from goose feathers boiled in oil to solid gutta percha to a wound centre to a solid rubber centre. Emphasis is placed here on the golf ball centre, in particular, the solid golf ball centre and the acrylates that form the centre’s crosslinked structure. It is well known that the modern solid centre of a golf ball is a highly crosslinked, high cis polybutadiene rubber that exhibits exceptional rebound at high speed. The co-agent that is utilised in the free radical crosslinking of the polybutadiene is typically zinc diacrylate. The reaction is initiated with heat and a peroxide, such as dicumyl peroxide, with reaction exotherm exceeding 400 deg.F. Experimental data utilising co-agents other than zinc diacrylate are examined. A surfactant/mixing aid is incorporated in the reaction to facilitate dispersion of the reactants. The material utilised here is zinc stearate, © Copyright 2001Rapra Technology Limited 47
