  • Publication number: 20240090604
    Abstract: Various aspects disclosed relate to structure such as a textile, a garment, a garment component, footwear, or a footwear component. The present disclosure includes the structure having a first region having one of more first fibers. An individual first fiber includes co-extruded first and second filaments, the first filament formed of a first thermoplastic polymeric material. Due to expansion or contraction of the one or more first fibers, the first region contracts or expands on a change in relative humidity, relative to an equilibrium state of the first region prior to the change in relative humidity.

  • Publication number: 20230320459
    Abstract: Debondable adhesive compositions are provided. This disclosure also provides articles of footwear and components for articles of footwear including a debondable adhesive matrix. The debondable adhesive matrix can allow for the bonding and debonding of two substrates in the article of footwear or component thereof. This disclosure also provides methods of making the debondable adhesive compositions and methods of using said compositions for bonding and debonding the substrates, e.g. for bonding and debonding of an upper and an outsole in an article of footwear.

  • Publication number: 20190343221
    Abstract: Methods of bonding components are provided that provide for improved bonding when one or both of the components include a polyolefin resin. Articles of footwear, athletic apparel, sporting equipment, and portions thereof are also provided including the components, at least one of which includes a polyolefin resin, and the component are adhesively bonded together by methods and/or compositions described herein. Methods can include (i) treating a surface of the first component with high-energy discharge to produce a treated surface; (ii) applying chlorinated polyolefin primer to the treated surface to produce a primed surface; (iii) applying waterborne polyurethane adhesive to the primed surface to produce an adhesive surface; and (iv) contacting a surface of the second component to the adhesive surface to adhesively bond the components. In some aspects, the first component is a plate including a textile disposed on a surface of the plate.
