Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of EVA anti-skid materials, and in particular to a lightweight anti-skid EVA material for shoes and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, also known as EVA, is a widely used ethylene copolymer and also an important plastic synthetic resin. EVA has low density and good softness and elasticity, high tensile strength, high shockproof ability, that is, high cushioning performance, and strong toughness; it is suitable for various climates and environments, and can withstand the lowest temperature of minus 58°C; it also has excellent ozone resistance, good processing performance and colorability. Foamed EVA has the advantages of softness, high elasticity, and shock absorption. Its excellent plasticity and elasticity are very suitable for use as the midsole of sports shoes.

[0003] The anti-slip property of the sole refers to the grip of the outer sole on the ground or the anti-slip effect when people walk. Qualified sports shoes should have certain anti-slip properties, which is also an important indicator for judging the quality of shoes. However, the friction coefficient of EVA foam soles without any anti-slip treatment is usually less than 0.5, which means that the anti-slip performance of EVA foam soles without anti-slip treatment is not within the safety standard range.

[0004] According to the above related technologies, the existing EVA foam material has poor anti-slip performance when used as a sole material, which can easily cause the wearer to slip. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to improve the defect of poor anti-slip performance of existing EVA foam materials, the present application provides a lightweight anti-slip EVA material for shoes and a preparation method thereof.

[0006] In the first aspect, the present application provides a lightweight anti-slip EVA material for shoes, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A lightweight anti-skid EVA material for shoes comprises the following substances in parts by weight: 80-120 parts of EVA resin, 3-7 parts of talc, 0.1-1.0 parts of zinc stearate, 0.5-1.5 parts of zinc oxide, 2-3 parts of a cross-linking agent, 2-3 parts of a foaming agent, and 5-8 parts of anti-skid modified particles; the anti-skid modified particles are non-spherical silicon dioxide particles.

[0008] Through the above technical scheme, the present application adds non-spherical silica particles to the EVA material as an anti-slip performance modifying material. Due to the introduction of non-spherical silica particles, the friction coefficient of the material is further enhanced, so that the prepared EVA material can effectively prevent slipping in various environments, ensuring the safety of users during walking.

[0009] Furthermore, the non-spherical silica particles include multi-branched silica particles, chain-shaped silica particles and dumbbell-shaped silica particles.

[0010] Through the above technical solution, the present application optimizes the specific structure of non-spherical silica particles, and selects silica particles of different forms to provide a variety of anti-slip properties, increase the roughness of the material surface, and thus improve friction. This diverse particle distribution can adapt to different friction requirements on different contact surfaces, ensuring superior performance under different weather and ground conditions. At the same time, the structure of non-spherical particles can reduce the sliding of the material to a certain extent, thereby improving the overall wear resistance and service life, meeting the high requirements of modern shoe materials for functionality and durability.

[0011] Furthermore, the non-spherical silica particles are multi-branched silica particles, which are prepared by the following scheme:

[0012] Take nickel nitrate and add deionized water, stir and mix, and collect the mixed solution;

[0013] Add ethanol and ammonia water to the mixed solution, stir and mix, and collect the reaction solution;

[0014] After adding ethanol and ethyl orthosilicate to the reaction solution, stirring and mixing, leaving the mixture to stand, filtering, washing and drying, the multi-branched dry silicon dioxide particles can be prepared.

[0015] Through the above technical scheme, the present application selects nickel nitrate as the main modified material. The addition of nickel ions in nickel nitrate can promote the growth of silica particles, increase their particle size, and induce silica to form a multi-branched morphology. The multi-branched structure can effectively enhance the adhesion and strength of the material in the composite material, and while effectively improving the anti-slip properties of the EVA material, it can also further improve the bonding performance between the anti-slip modified particles and the EVA material.

[0016] Furthermore, the anti-slip modified particles also include ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene particles, and the mixing ratio of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene particles to the non-spherical silica particles is (1.3-1.5):0.8.

[0017] Through the above technical scheme, the present application introduces ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene particles, further enhances the performance of anti-slip modified particles, so that the shoe material can still maintain good friction performance under various environments. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene has excellent wear resistance and toughness, can significantly improve the durability of the sole, and reduce the wear rate. At the same time, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is mixed with a specific ratio of non-spherical silica particles, so that the internal structure of the shoe material is more stable, and better bearing capacity and impact resistance are provided. While effectively improving the physical properties of EVA materials, the comfort and safety of shoes after long-term use are also improved, meeting the needs of high-intensity sports or harsh environments.

[0018] Furthermore, an interface modification layer is provided on the surface of the anti-slip modified particles, and the interface modification layer is an EPDM / EVA-g-MAH coating layer.

[0019] Through the above technical scheme, the present application adopts the design of EPDM / EVA-g-MAH coating layer, which significantly improves the compatibility between particles and matrix materials. This modified layer can effectively enhance the bonding force between particles and EVA materials, reduce the shedding phenomenon of particles during use, and extend the service life of footwear materials. The introduction of the interface modified layer not only improves the overall structural strength of the footwear material, but also enables the material to maintain good performance under high temperature or humid environment. In addition, the design of the modified layer can also improve the aging resistance and chemical resistance of the material to a certain extent, so that the product can maintain stable performance under a variety of environments, meeting the market demand for high-performance footwear materials.

[0020] Furthermore, the lightweight anti-slip EVA material for shoes also includes an anti-slip modified resin, and the anti-slip modified resin includes at least one of EPDM, SBS and SEBS.

[0021] Through the above technical scheme, the present application adds an anti-slip modified resin to the lightweight anti-slip EVA material, which not only improves the impact resistance of the material, but also the above-mentioned anti-slip modified resin can effectively combine with the EVA resin and improve the adhesion of the EVA resin, so that when the EVA material contacts the contact surface, its adhesion effect is increased, resulting in an increase in the overall friction resistance, thereby improving the anti-slip performance.

[0022] Furthermore, the anti-slip modified resin is EPDM, and the anti-slip modified particles are made by the following scheme:

[0023] Non-spherical silica particles, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene particles, EPDM, EVA resin, MAH, DBPH, styrene and antioxidant are mixed and stirred, placed in a torque rheometer, heated and melted, and then cut and granulated to prepare the anti-slip modified particles.

[0024] Through the above technical scheme, the present application optimizes the surface structure of the anti-slip modified particles and the bonding mode with the anti-slip modified resin. By coating the surface of the anti-slip modified particles with an EPDM / EVA-g-MAH coating layer, the anti-slip modified particles are used as an interface compatible modified material. While the anti-slip modified particles are effectively dispersed and bonded with the EVA material, the bonding strength between the anti-slip modified resin material and the EVA resin material is improved, thereby effectively improving the anti-slip performance of the EVA material while improving its mechanical strength.

[0025] Furthermore, the mixing ratio of the non-spherical silica particles, EPDM, EVA resin, MAH and styrene in the anti-slip modified particles is 0.8:0.4:0.6:0.15:0.25.

[0026] In the second aspect, the present application provides a method for preparing a lightweight anti-slip EVA material for shoes, using the following technical solution:

[0027] A method for preparing a lightweight anti-slip EVA material for shoes, comprising the following preparation steps:

[0028] The EVA resin and the anti-slip modified resin in the formula components are placed in an internal mixer. After mixing, a foaming agent, talcum powder, zinc stearate, zinc oxide, a cross-linking agent and anti-slip modified particles can be added. The mixed rubber is discharged to a thin sheet on an open mixer. After being parked for 24 hours, it is molded, vulcanized and foamed in a flat vulcanizer to prepare the lightweight anti-slip EVA material for shoes.

[0029] Through the above technical scheme, the present application effectively integrates various formula components and improves preparation efficiency. Through the mixing process of the internal mixer, different ingredients can be fully mixed to ensure that each component is evenly distributed, thereby improving the overall performance of the material. Subsequent refining, molding and foaming processes can achieve the final shaping and performance improvement of the material. Such a preparation process not only improves production efficiency, but also provides a guarantee for product quality and ensures the performance stability of each batch of products. In addition, the implementation of this method can provide feasibility for large-scale production, reduce production costs, and meet the market demand for cost-effective shoe materials.

[0030] In summary, this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0031] First, the present application adds non-spherical silica particles to the EVA material as an anti-slip performance modifying material. Due to the introduction of non-spherical silica particles, the friction coefficient of the material is further enhanced, so that the prepared EVA material can effectively prevent slipping in various environments, ensuring the safety of users during walking.

[0032] This application optimizes the specific structure of non-spherical silica particles, and selects silica particles of different forms to provide a variety of anti-slip properties, increase the roughness of the material surface, and thus improve friction. This diverse distribution of particles can adapt to different friction requirements on different contact surfaces, ensuring superior performance under different weather and ground conditions. At the same time, the structure of non-spherical particles can reduce the sliding of the material to a certain extent, thereby improving the overall wear resistance and service life, meeting the high requirements of modern shoe materials for functionality and durability.

[0033] Second, the present application introduces ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene particles to further enhance the performance of anti-slip modified particles, so that the shoe material can still maintain good friction performance under various environments. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene has excellent wear resistance and toughness, which can significantly improve the durability of the sole and reduce the wear rate. At the same time, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is mixed with a specific ratio of non-spherical silica particles, making the internal structure of the shoe material more stable, providing better bearing capacity and impact resistance, while effectively improving the physical properties of EVA materials, it also improves the comfort and safety of shoes after long-term use, meeting the needs of high-intensity sports or harsh environments.

[0034] Third, the present application optimizes the surface structure of the anti-slip modified particles and the bonding mode with the anti-slip modified resin. On the one hand, by coating the surface of the anti-slip modified particles with an EPDM / EVA-g-MAH coating layer, the anti-slip modified particles are used as an interface compatible modified material. While the anti-slip modified particles are effectively dispersed and bonded with the EVA material, the bonding strength between the anti-slip modified resin material and the EVA resin material is improved, thereby effectively improving the anti-slip performance of the EVA material while improving its mechanical strength. On the other hand, EPDM as an anti-slip resin can significantly improve the wet anti-slip performance of the EVA material. By improving the technical solution of improving the dry anti-slip performance and wet anti-slip performance of EVA, the anti-slip performance of the lightweight anti-slip EVA material is further improved.

[0088] Comparative Example

[0089] Compared with Example 1, no anti-slip modified particles were added in this comparative example, and the rest of the technical solutions were the same as those in Example 1.

[0090] Performance Testing

[0091] The anti-slip properties of the lightweight anti-slip EVA materials prepared in Examples 1-9 and the EVA materials prepared in the comparative example were tested:

[0092] Anti-slip performance test: according to ASTM F1677-05 standard;

[0093] Experimental principle: By applying a certain external force to the test sample, horizontal and vertical forces are generated between the test sample and the simulated road surface, and the friction coefficient of the test sample is evaluated based on the force balance analysis in physics.

[0094] The results are shown in Table 1 below:

[0095] Table 1 Performance test table

[0096]

[0097] From the above examples 1-9 and the comparative example, combined with the test results of Table 1, it can be found that:

[0098] From the comparison of Examples 1-3 and the comparative example, it is explained that the technical solution of the present application adds non-spherical silica particles to the EVA material as a non-slip performance modifying material. Due to the introduction of non-spherical silica particles, the roughness of the material surface is increased, thereby improving the friction. This diversified particle distribution can adapt to different friction requirements on different contact surfaces, ensuring superior performance under different weather and ground conditions. At the same time, the structure of the non-spherical particles can reduce the sliding property of the material to a certain extent, thereby improving the overall wear resistance and service life, and meeting the high requirements of modern shoe materials for functionality and durability.

[0099] By comparing the technical solutions of Examples 4-5 with those of Examples 1-3, it can be found that the present application introduces ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene particles, further enhancing the performance of anti-slip modified particles, so that the shoe material can still maintain good friction properties under various environments. Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene has excellent wear resistance and toughness, can significantly improve the durability of the sole, and reduce the wear rate. At the same time, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene is mixed with a specific ratio of non-spherical silica particles, so that the internal structure of the shoe material is more stable, and better bearing capacity and impact resistance are provided, while effectively improving the physical properties of the EVA material, the comfort and safety of the shoes after long-term use are also improved, and the needs of high-intensity sports or harsh environments are met.

[0100] Finally, by comparing Examples 7-9 with Examples 1-6, it is further illustrated that the application optimizes the surface structure of the anti-slip modified particles and the bonding mode with the anti-slip modified resin, and by coating the surface of the anti-slip modified particles with an EPDM / EVA-g-MAH coating layer so that they serve as an interface compatible modified material, the anti-slip modified particles are effectively dispersed and bonded with the EVA material while improving the bonding strength between the anti-slip modified resin material and the EVA resin material, thereby effectively improving the anti-slip performance of the EVA material while improving its mechanical strength.
