Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of insole technology, and more particularly to a high-density PU material composition for insoles and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Insoles are linings placed inside shoes, directly contacting the soles of the feet. Their main functions include sweat and cold protection, reducing friction, moisture wicking, warmth, and adjusting foot support. They are made from various materials, such as cloth, leather, silicone, and felt, each emphasizing different functions. For example, felt excels at moisture wicking, while silicone effectively relieves pressure on the soles of the feet. In addition, insoles often carry cultural connotations; for instance, traditional hand-embroidered insoles often symbolize wealth and celebration. Modern sports insoles prioritize functionality, such as orthotics, shock absorption, antibacterial properties, and breathability, to meet the needs of professional sports.
[0003] Commonly used materials for insoles include EVA, polyurethane (PU), and silicone. EVA is lightweight and elastic, but has poor breathability and is easily deformed; silicone has excellent shock absorption, but poor breathability and is relatively thick. Currently, the main problems with traditional PU materials for insoles are as follows: (1) Easy deformation and performance degradation: After long-term use, PU materials are prone to collapse and deformation in areas of concentrated pressure (such as the arch and heel), and the cushioning performance is significantly reduced; (2) Poor breathability: Its dense molecular structure leads to poor breathability, making it difficult for foot sweat to evaporate, which easily creates a stuffy and humid environment; (3) Insufficient durability: After 3-6 months of use, the cushioning performance of ordinary PU insoles may decrease by more than 30%, requiring frequent replacement. Summary of the Invention

[0065] Performance testing 1. Elongation at break: Refer to GB / T528-2009 The elongation at break at 120℃ was determined by preparing the sample into a dumbbell shape with a length of 10 mm and a thickness of 1 mm. The test was conducted using a tensile testing machine at a tensile speed of 200 mm / min.
[0066] 2. Rebound rate: Refer to GB / T6670-2008 The sample was prepared with dimensions of 100 mm in length, 100 mm in width, and 50 mm in height. After standing for 72 hours, the sample was placed horizontally on the rebound hammer. The height from the bottom of the steel ball to the sample surface was adjusted to 460 mm. A 16.3 g steel ball was released, and the maximum rebound height was recorded as an integer. The ball should not hit the wall during the fall or rebound. Three valid rebound values were obtained within 1 minute. Three sets of measurements were taken, and the average value was recorded.
[0067] 3. Air permeability: Refer to GB / T5453-1997 The sample is clamped on the sample frustum, and air is passed through the sample to bring the pressure close to 50 Pa. After 1 minute, the airflow rate is recorded. The calculation formula is: air permeability R = qv / A × 100%; Where qv is the average gas flow rate (dm³) 3 / min), A is the experimental area (cm²) 2 ).
[0068] 4. Wear resistance The wear was measured using a multifunctional material friction behavior tester. The wear material was GCr15 with a diameter of 5 mm, the load was 400 g, the time was 40 min, and the rotation speed was 250 r / min. The wear amount was calculated.
[0069] 5. Antibacterial properties: The antibacterial effect was evaluated in accordance with GB / T20944.3-2008 "Evaluation of antibacterial properties of textiles - Part 3: Shaking method"; Escherichia coli was selected as the bacterial species for antibacterial performance testing. The inhibition rate Y = (Wt-Qt) / Wt×100%, where Y is the inhibition rate (%), Wt is the average viable bacterial concentration of the control sample (CFU / ml), and Qt is the average viable bacterial concentration of the insole. After 200 standard washes, the antibacterial durability of the insole was determined.
