“…A material with good water vapor permeability enables faster heat dissipation and reduces the foot temperature. It is also an indicator of breathability, which can enhance the overall comfort inside the orthotic insoles [32]. Sample B (Nora Lunairflex) is most permeable to water vapor because of its perforated structure, which allows the free movement of water vapor.…”

Abstract-Orthotic insoles are commonly used in the treatment of the diabetic foot to prevent ulcerations. Choosing suitable insole material is vital for effective foot orthotic treatment. We examined seven types of orthotic materials. In consideration of the key requirements and end uses of orthotic insoles for the diabetic foot, including accommodation, cushioning, and control, we developed test methods for examining important physical properties, such as force reduction and compression properties, insole-skin friction, and shear properties, as well as thermal comfort properties of fabrication materials. A novel performance index that combines various material test results together was also proposed to quantify the overall performance of the insole materials. The investigation confirms that the insole-sock interface has a lower coefficient of friction and shearing stress than those of the insole-skin interface. It is also revealed that material brand and the corresponding density and cell volume, as well as thickness, are closely associated with the performance of moisture absorption and thermal comfort. On the basis of the proposed performance index, practitioners can better understand the properties and performance of various insole materials, thus prescribing suitable orthotic insoles for patients with diabetic foot.

“…Currently, advances have been made to artificial leather to make it significantly more similar to natural leather than ever before in terms of both physical properties and functionality. 1 The mixed use of natural leather and artificial leather is increasing given the advantages and disadvantages of natural leather and artificial leather in terms of price and durability. In the case of sofas and car seats, the areas that touch and don't touch the skin are composed of natural and artificial leathers, respectively.…”

In this study, the mechanical properties and preferences of natural and artificial leathers were analyzed. The leathers were classified based on mechanical properties affecting their preferences. The mechanical properties of the leathers were measured via the KES-FB system, and an expert survey was conducted to evaluate leather preference. Leathers possess different mechanical properties depending on the manufacturing process and structural characteristics. Furthermore, differences were observed in the mechanical properties of natural and artificial leather. The mechanical properties of the leathers were related to the preferences for hand and bags. Accordingly, the leather was classified into three clusters. The leathers that were preferred for hand were not preferred for bags, and those preferred for bags were not preferred for hand. Therefore, different development strategies are needed, depending on the type of leather. Natural leather for bags should be light and have good compression elasticity along with its existing mechanical properties, whereas artificial leather should be light and have improved tensile resilience.

“…Synthetic leather has standardized sizes and is available in roll form, which reduces waste when making cuts of the leather pieces and allows greater planning of the production. Additionally, this material has a standardized thickness and uniform color, and the cost is usually lower than natural leather; 8 however, it has the disadvantages of low water vapor permeability and poor dye fastness. 2,3,8 Studies have been carried out to determine the elements in natural leathers using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), 1,5,9,10 microwaveinduced plasma optical emission spectrometry, 11 instrumental neutron activation analysis, 12 ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectrophotometry, 13 laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), 14 and X-ray fluorescence (XRF).…”

Synthetic leather samples from Brazil and Paraguay were evaluated in this study using three spectroscopy techniques: inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), and wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence (WDXRF). The obtained information from each technique was separately inspected with principal component analysis (PCA). The concentrations of the elements determined in the synthetic leathers using ICP-OES decreased in the following order: Ca > Cr > Mg > Ba > Pb > Al > Fe > Zn > Sb > Ni with a concentration range below the limit of quantification (
