  • METHOD OF MANUFACTURING POROUS VEGETABLE FILLER FOR USE IN FOAMING PROCESS
    Publication number: 20120114796
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a porous vegetable filler for use in a foaming process mainly comprises exposing discarded coffee grounds to sunlight to a moisture content of 5%-15%; then baking the coffee grounds after solarization using a dryer at 120° C.-350° C. for 1 to 4 hours; finally grinding the baked coffee grounds to a size of less than 1000 mesh to obtain a porous vegetable filler for use in a foaming process.

  • Thermoplastic elastomer compositions
    Patent number: 7897685
    Abstract: Polymer compositions having thermoplastic and elastomeric features are provided. These polymer compositions, which are also characterized by superior compatibility with water-based and solvent-based adhesives, comprise at least one thermoplastic elastomer and at least one maleated ethylene copolymer. The compositions of the invention are useful in articles of manufacture that require flexibility and are fabricated with adhesives, including sporting goods, and particularly athletic shoes.

  • Crosslinked foam of ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer and acid copolymer
    Patent number: 6797737
    Abstract: This invention relates to crosslinked polymer foam compositions of an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, an acid copolymer or ionomer, and a crosslinking agent. Such compositions exhibit enhanced melt strength, as well as lower density and compression set. They are especially useful as midsoles or insoles for footwear.
