    摘要: The present invention relates to a process for the production of a composite article comprising a structured porous body (PB) and a particle foam (PF), wherein the provided structured porous body (PB) is inserted into a mould (M) and the mould (M) is filled with expanded foam beads (EFB) so that the expanded foam beads (EFB) are in contact with each other and the structured porous body (PB) is at least partially in contact with the expanded foam beads (EFB). Then, the expanded foam beads (EFB) are thermally welded, wherein the particle foam (PF) is built and the composite article is obtained. Moreover, the present invention relates to a composite article obtained by this process, as well as to a composite article comprising a structured porous body (PB) and a particle foam (PF). The present invention further relates to the use of the inventive composite articles in the shoe industry, in the sports and leisure sector, in vehicle construction, in the medical sector, in mechanical engineering and in the logistics sector. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a composite article comprising a structured porous body (PB) and a foam (F), wherein the structured porous body (PB) and the foam (F) comprise the same polymer (P).

    摘要: A tool for the production of particle foam parts through the welding of foam particles by means of electromagnetic waves comprises two mould halves which bound a mould cavity. At least one of the two mould halves is made of a material which is transparent to electromagnetic waves and has a boundary wall which bounds the mould cavity and one or more supports serving to support the boundary wall on a capacitor plate on the side facing away from the mould cavity and forming one or more hollow spaces. A tool system for the production of particle foam parts has the tool and at least one trimming body, which is designed for introduction into the hollow space or at least one of the hollow spaces. A method for the production of a particle foam part with the tool or tool system is also specified.
