References and Abstracts coupled with high rigidity of these materials achieves a reduction in motor boat fuel consumption. Since aramid fibres (Twaron, manufactured by Akzo Nobel) are now finding wide application, certain types of woven and nonwoven fabric can be standardised, which benefits the cost structure. Fibre properties, such as light weight, high tenacity, rigidity and impact strength, make these reinforcing materials suitable for boat construction. EUROPEAN COMMUNITY; EUROPEAN UNION; NETHERLANDS; WESTERN EUROPE Accession no.596179 Item 323 Plastics News(USA) 8, No.12, 20th May 1996, p.4 NAUTICRAFT LAUNCHES ROTOMOULDED BOAT PLAN Neaville L S Nauticraft Corp., of Michigan, is to install its first rotational moulding machine to begin converting a fibreglass pedal boat to rotomoulded polyethylene. The article supplies details of the company’s background, its current activities and products. The switch to rotomoulded PE was brought about because the fibreglass model was not commercially viable. NAUTICRAFT CORP. USA Accession no.596115 Item 324 Industria della Gomma 39, No.4, April 1995, p.43-7 Italian WHAT IF THE SEVEN LEAGUE BOOTS HAD HAD RUBBER SOLES? Applications of rubbers in footwear are examined, with particular reference to PU elastomers. Developments by a number of Italian companies in polymers, compounds and processing machinery for footwear manufacture are reviewed, and some statistics are presented for the Italian footwear industry. EUROPEAN COMMUNITY; EUROPEAN UNION; ITALY; WESTERN EUROPE Accession no.595281 Item 325 Revue Generale des Caoutchoucs et Plastiques No.740, April 1995, p.71-2 French ETHER-AMIDE BLOCK COPOLYMERS ON THE STARTING BLOCKS Tron L; Chassaing J Elf Atochem SA; Adidas AG Applications of Elf Atochem’s Pebax ether-amide block copolymer thermoplastic elastomers in soles for sports footwear are described. Properties which make these materials particularly suitable for such applications are examined.

Hague, 31st March-2nd April 1992, p.150-5. 43C6 NEW POLYMERIC POLYESTERS AND THEIR APPLICATION IN MICROCELLULAR ELASTOMERS FOR SHOE SOLES Monso J M; Soler J; Blanch J; Escobar P; Rodriguez F L; Garcia J Hoocker SA (Crain Communications Ltd.) Polyesters suited to the formulation of PU microcellular elastomers are described. The particle size of the dispersion exerts an important influence upon product stability, as well as its value as a reinforcing agent for the finished plastic. Parameters influencing the synthesis of products are explained, specifically the use of specific dispersants. The efficiency of three of them is compared by determining particle size; this study is made by Scanning Electron Microscopy with a JEOL JSM 840 apparatus, presenting a white polymeric polyester with small particle size (0.2 microns) as an optimised product. The modification of mechanical properties by using polymeric polyesters is studied in microcellular elastomers, and tests are made with a GUSBI machine P40/D2 in an elastomer of 400 Kg/m3 and with increasing quantities of polymeric up to 50%. The increase in hardness and the variations of tensile strength, elongation, tear strength and flexural properties relating to the percentage of polymeric are compared. The economy obtained by savings of isocyanate requirements in systems using polymeric polyesters is quantified, selecting for this purpose: low density mid-soles and standard sport shoes of medium hardness.12 refs. EUROPEAN COMMUNITY; EUROPEAN UNION; SPAIN; WESTERN EUROPE Accession no.594649 Item 327 Injection Molding 4, No.6, June 1996, p.44 SKI GOGGLE FIT WITH RP TECHNOLOGY Maniscalco M The use of stereolithography techniques to solve design problems with a ski goggle, is described. Prototype Express collaborated with Smith Sport Optics, to avert a seeming disaster when the goggle’s critical fit between the nose and cheek region left a gap. The use of rapid prototyping, enabled a saving of 125,000 US dollars in tool rework costs, and 8-10 weeks in the project cycle. 82 © Copyright 2001 Rapra Technology Limited

The company is providing nine track surfaces for Atlanta including training track. Mondo of Lavel Quebec, has invested a lot of money and effort to get into the US, and sees the Atlanta games as the perfect opportunity to advertise their name. Details are given of their product range which includes 9 different sports surfaces for different applications. Its premium running track is a two layer construction with EPDM on the top layer for spike and weather resistance, and natural rubber on the bottom for comfort and shock absorbency. MONDO AMERICA INC. CANADA Accession no.592875 Item 329 Rubber and Plastics News 25, No.19, 8th April 1996, p.20 SKATE WHEEL MAKERS CRUISING Truini J The popularity in the US of in-line skating has provided manufacturers of polyurethane wheels with a growing outlet for their goods. The leading US company, Rollerblade Inc., claims to have sold 12 million pairs of skates in 1994, 6 million more than in the previous year. As well as the rapid growth, the demands for improved performance are being met in terms of durability and wet traction performance. The key suppliers and manufacturers are noted with their comments on the popularity of the sport. USA Accession no.591116 Item 330 Shell Chemicals Europe Magazine No.5, April 1996, p.7-9 TAKING TYRES OFF THE SCRAP HEAP Johnston J Shell Chemicals Europe Rosehill Polymers’ involvement in the Eureka project EU446 is described. The project was conceived to develop a process whereby scrap rubber tyres and plastic bottles could be recycled in combination with a PU binder to produce marketable end products such as safety surfaces for children’s playgrounds, running tracks and tennis courts. The PU prepolymer took four years to develop and is based on the reaction between a blend of polyols such as those from Shell’s Caradol range, and MDI. The PU binders produced by Rosehill are one-part and solvent free, relying on atmospheric moisture for final curing. Other applications involving the use of polyurethanebound rubbers are also described. ROSEHILL POLYMERS EUROPEAN COMMUNITY; EUROPEAN UNION; UK; WESTERN EUROPE Accession no.591004 Item 331 Advanced Materials & Processes 149, No.5, May 1996, p.4 COMPOSITES LIGHTEN SUPERFAST SAILBOAT A flying sailing vessel called the Hydroptere is under construction in France by Matra Defense of Velizy- Villacou-blay Cedex, and Dassault Aviation of Caucresson. The craft, which incorporates both aeronautical and nautical technology, is being made ready to attempt a series of record-breaking crossings of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans in 1997. The boat is an 18-meter-long hydrofoil trimaran with foils mounted under the sponsons between the hulls. To limit weight while optimising rigidity, high performance composite materials, such as carbon- and glass fibre-reinforced polymers have been chosen for the boat’s foils, 27 meter high main mast, central hull, and 250 sq.m. of sail. Details are given. MATRA DEFENSE; DASSAULT AVIATION; FRENCH TECHNOLOGY PRESS OFFICE INC.
