    摘要: A fatigue-resistant layered elastomeric structure is obtained by first extruding raw material of thermoplastic polyester elastomer into long linear structures. The long linear structures are further curled and bonded to form a volume of layered elastomeric structure with a certain thickness. Intermittently bonded points and continuously bonded points with fused sections equal to longer than 5 mm are formed during this process. Among all bonded points, the continuously bonded points have a proportion of at least 20%. Hardness loss rate after repeated compression is less than 23%. Relevant parameters are adjusted to obtain even larger percentages of continuously bonded points with better repeated compression durability.

    摘要: A process for providing a material comprising a nonwoven layer of fibers is provided comprising: providing a material composition comprising: 90 to 98.7 wt. % of a recycled polyester polymer, 1 to 5 wt. % of a polyolefin polymer, and 0.3 to 5 wt. % of a compatibilizer based on the total weight of the recycled polyester polymer, the polyolefin polymer and the compatibilizer; melting the material composition; extruding the molten material composition through spinning holes in a spinneret to form extruded fibers; supplying the extruded fibers to form a nonwoven web of fibers; and consolidating the nonwoven web to obtain a material comprising a nonwoven layer of fibers.
