Described herein are compositions comprising a vinyl acrylic copolymer derived in the presence of maltodextrin. In some examples, the compositions comprise a copolymer derived from: vinyl acetate; an acrylate monomer having a Tg of −30° C. or less; a carboxylic acid, a carboxylic acid anhydride, or a combination thereof; and an organosilane; in the presence of maltodextrin. The copolymer can be provided as an aqueous dispersion. In some examples, the aqueous dispersion can have an overall solids content of from 40% to 75%. Also disclosed herein are carpet tiles having a surface coated with the adhesive formulations disclosed herein. In some examples, the carpet tile with the adhesive formulation applied thereto can pass the British spill test. Also disclosed herein are methods of making the compositions disclosed herein.

A method for producing antibacterial shock absorbing shoes is provided. The method includes the following steps of: designing a shoe tree and a shoe style, and selecting a material; attaching paper to an outside of the shoe tree to make a paper pattern; manufacturing a bottom pad, a middle pad and a foot pad, and punching a circular hole in the middle pad; soaking the leather pad with an antibacterial agent, punching semi-spherical protrusions and a connecting groove on the leather pad, forming a circular pinhole in a top end of the semi-spherical protrusion, pasting the leather pad on the middle pad with a glue and cutting the leather pad to manufacture a shock absorbing massage pad; wrapping the shoes, and shaping; and placing the shock absorbing massage pads and the foot pads into the shoes. The shoes manufactured have good breathability, shock absorbing property and antibacterial property.
