Enhanced adhesion of EVA and NBR soles with polyurethane adhesives by cold atmospheric pressure plasmas

Preparation and performance characteristics study of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) for basketball shoe soles

“…Basketball shoes play a pivotal role in ensuring the safety of basketball players, with the performance of the shoe soles affecting the stress on lower limb joints [1]. With the advancements in materials science, various high-performance materials, including air cushions and EVA foam [2][3], have been employed in basketball shoe manufacturing. Among these, thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) materials, known for their excellent elasticity, are widely used in basketball shoe sole production.…”
