    摘要: A bead foam is made of thermoplastic polyurethane, a styrene polymer, and an impact modifier. Moldings can be produced from the bead foam and processes for the production of the bead foams and moldings can be utilized. The moldings can be used for shoe intermediate soles, shoe insoles, shoe combisoles, cushioning elements for shoes, bicycle saddles, bicycle tires, damping elements, cushioning, mattresses, underlays, grips, protective films, in components in the automobile-interior sector or automobile-exterior sector, balls and sports equipment, or as floorcovering.

    摘要: A molded body contains foamed pellets, containing a composition (M1) containing a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE-1), having a ratio of average surface area to average volume of the pellets (A/V) determined according to method-example 1 and 2 in a range of from 1.4 to 3.0. A process for preparing the molded body involves providing the foamed pellets comprising the composition (M1), and fusing the foamed pellets to obtain the molded body. A molded body obtained or obtainable by the process is useful in furniture, seating, cushioning, car wheels or parts of car wheels, toys, animal toys, tires or parts of a tire, saddles, balls and sports equipment, sports mats, or as floor covering or wall paneling, especially for sports surfaces, track and field surfaces, sports halls, children's playgrounds, and pathways.
