USA Accession no.712133 Item 149 Rubber World 219, No.3, Dec.1998, p.33-5 PU RUBBER OUTSOLES FOR ATHLETIC FOOTWEAR Ahnemiller J TSE Industries Inc. This article examines in detail the use of polyurethane rubber out-soles in running shoes. Several types of PU rubber, each with a slightly different chemical make-up that changes its properties, are discussed and compared. USA Accession no.711970 Item 150 Injection Molding 6, No.11, Nov.1998, p.47 DESIGN - NYLON LOST-CORE BIKE WHEEL IMPROVES ON TRADITION Sloan J This article highlights a new development from Innovations & Composites Inc. of the USA, which was nine years in the making. The “Thug” is a one-piece bicycle wheel manufactured from glass-filled nylon using the lost-core process, that reportedly out-performs and outlasts traditional aluminium and alloy designs. A full description is provided. ALLIEDSIGNAL PLASTICS; INNOVATIONS IN COMPOSITES INC. USA Accession no.711928 Item 151 Benchmark Jan.1999, p.25 CUSTOM CARBON FIBRE BIKES A Utah custom bicycle designer is using Algor software and cutting the cost of high-performance bicycles. Vacuum bag technology is employed to make composite rocket motor cases to craft carbon fibres and epoxy into customised bike frames which are more comfortable and more aerodynamic than traditional steel, aluminium or titanium frames. COMPOSITE ARTS & SCIENCE USA Accession no.711256 Item 152 Scrap Tire News 13, No.1, Jan.1999, p.5 SOFTER, STRONGER TURF NovaTee, a synthetic tee-off green produced from a patented process that mixes silica sand, vermiculite and recycled tyre crumb, has been installed all over the world. SynTenniCo decided to try NovaTee on a larger surface. Field Turf looks, feels and plays like grass. Recently, SynTenniCo teamed up with Nike and is now using 10% Nike Grind from recycled shoes for the infill in Field Turfinstalled fields. SYNTENNICO INC. USA Accession no.711253 Item 153 IRC ’98. Conference Proceedings. Paris, 12th-14th May 1998, p.311-7. 012 French SPORTS APPLICATIONS OF THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS Poyet O Elf Atochem SA (AFICEP; Societe de Chimie Industrielle) Applications of thermoplastic elastomers in sports equipment and sports footwear and clothing are reviewed. Particular attention is paid to ether-amide block copolymers, the properties of which are compared with those of PU and ether-ester copolymer elastomers. EUROPEAN COMMUNITY; EUROPEAN UNION; FRANCE; WESTERN EUROPE Accession no.710625 Item 154 Materials World 7, No.1, Jan.1999, p.10-2 POLYMERS ON THE PISTE Hill S Advanced polymer materials being used in skis, boots, bindings and other associated equipment have been developed to suit the demanding conditions imposed by a rapid ride over icy bumps in freezing temperatures. DuPont’s Delrin 107, a UV-stabilised acetal resin, is being used in one of the latest forms of acrobatic ski. Zytel, DuPont’s polyamide 6 and 66 resin, features on snowboards, while Hytrel thermoplastic elastomer offers very good flexibility at low temperatures for components of ski boots and cross-country ski shoes.

References and Abstracts CARBON FIBRES FOR FILAMENT-WINDING APPLICATIONS Carbon fibres are a preferred reinforcement material for high-performance filament-wound applications. Fibres produced by Tenax Fibres are used in a wide range of applications including aeronautics and space, cars and sailboard masts. Tenax HTS are high-tenacity carbon fibres with a tensile strength of 3,950 MPa, a tensile modulus of 238 GPa and elongation at break of 1.5%. High-strain carbon fibres, Tenax UTS, have a tensile strength of 4,800 MPa, a tensile modulus of 240 GPa and an elongation at break of 2.0%.

The capacity of the only carbon fibre manufacturer is 500 t/y. These raw materials meet the local market demand, except for carbon fibre. The total GRP/UP production in Taiwan was 45,400 tons in 1997. The main applications are yachts, fishing boats, bathtubs, panels, cooling towers, tanks and sporting goods. TAIWAN Accession no.708828 Item 157 Tire Business 16, No.15, 26th Oct.1998, p.43 SEARS ENCOURAGES COMMUNITIES TO RECYCLE Fedchenko V Sears, Roebuck and Co.’s Automotive Group has introduced a programme called Recycling Old Tires Aids the Environment (ROTATE). The programme is designed to encourage support within communities to pick up scrap tyres and recycle them. Crumb rubber produced from scrap tyres has been used to pave a basketball court and refurbish playgrounds. SEARS AUTOMOTIVE GROUP USA Accession no.708768 Item 158 Gummi Fasern Kunststoffe 49, No.8, 1996, p.646-51 German FIBRE-REINFORCED COMPOSITES IN LEISURE PRODUCTS Heitz E The authors discuss the market potential for bicycles incorporating fibre-reinforced plastics components, and describe the design and production by resin transfer moulding of bicycle frames, brakes and other components from polyester resins, epoxy-vinyl ester resins and methacrylates.

JAPAN Accession no.707017 Item 160 Rubber and Plastics News 28, No.6, 19th.Oct.1998, p.10 TYRES HELP IN-LINE SKATERS GO OFF ROAD Boyd J This article supplies details of Rollerblade Inc’s Coyote all-terrain in-line skate, which innovatively, features three six-inch pneumatic rubber tyres, rather than the normal, hard polyurethane wheels. The shock absorption and traction of the pneumatic tyres enable skaters to go ‘offroad’, on a variety of surfaces such as dirt paths, wet surfaces, gravel etc. The innovation gives the skate a significant competitive edge.
