Two part sole structures are provided having a first foam component containing a polyolefin resin with a polyurethane resin component adhered to a surface of the first foam component. For example, in some aspects, a sole structure or a portion thereof is provided having a first sole component containing a foam composition and a second sole component adhered to a surface of the first sole component, where the second sole component includes a polyurethane resin. The second sole component is in some aspects printed or extruded onto the surface of the foam. In particular, midsoles including the foams and having an outsole component on the ground facing portion are provided for use in an article of footwear. Methods of making the sole structures are provided, as well as methods of making an article of footwear including one of the sole structures.

A hot melt adhesive sheet according to the present invention is a hot melt adhesive sheet including a base material having at least one surface on which an adhesive layer made of a hot melt adhesive is disposed. The hot melt adhesive includes a crosslinked product of an adhesive composition including a crosslinking agent, and includes a polyurethane resin, an epoxy resin, an isocyanate-based crosslinking agent, and a crystalline polyester resin. The epoxy resin includes a bisphenol A type epoxy resin and a rubber-modified epoxy resin. The crystalline polyester resin has a number average molecular weight Mn of 33,000 or less, and a glass transition temperature Tg of 5 C. or less. The isocyanate-based crosslinking agent is included in an amount of 14 mass parts or less based on 100 mass parts of a total of the polyurethane resin and the crystalline polyester resin.

Solid, non-melting polyurethanes having a glass transition temperature of at least 40° C. and free isocyanate groups are self-bonding materials that are useful in a variety of adhesive and molding operations. Under conditions of heat and moisture, these polyurethanes will self-bond. The polyurethanes can be used as adhesive coatings, which are solid and non-tacky and thus can be transported and stored easily under ambient conditions. These polyurethane adhesives are especially useful in applications in which, due to the location and/or orientation of the substrates, liquid or melting materials cannot be applied easily or will run off the substrates.

The invention relates to a novel, reactive 2-component adhesive system, preferably in film form, for adhering diverse materials, such as for example, metal, wood, glass and/or plastic.

The present invention relates to a heat-crosslinkable adhesive composition comprising: —from 20% to 84% by weight of composition (A); —from 15% to 79% by weight of a compatible tackifying resin (B), —from 0.01% to 5% by weight of a crosslinking catalyst (C). The invention also relates to a self-adhesive item obtained by preheating said composition, coating on a support layer, then crosslinking by heating.

The present application provides agents for producing an impact-modified epoxy adhesive encompassing at least two components A and B packaged separately from each other, wherein (a) component A contains at least one compound having two or more isocyanate groups together with one or more further additives, (b) component B contains at least one compound which has at least two reactive groups selected from hydroxyl groups, thiol groups, primary amino groups and secondary amino groups and is simultaneously free from epoxy groups, together with one or more further additives, (c) at least one of components A and/or B contains at least one epoxide prepolymer as an additive, (d) at least one of components A and/or B contains at least one latent hardener for epoxide prepolymers as an additive, and (e) components A and B contain no blowing agent that is capable of being heat activated.

The present invention is directed to synthetic attachment discs made from adhesive nanofibers and/or microfibers that are capable of attaching long fibers to a wide variety of surfaces, and related methods for forming and using them. The synthetic attachment discs of the present invention use very little material relative to prior art systems, while producing a very strong attachment force. Experimental and theoretical evidence are provided to confirm the advantages of thousands of micron-size ‘staple-pins’ and their low peeling angles to enhance the adhesive forces required to peel the synthetic attachment discs. The present invention provides a unique strategy for designing new adhesives that use very little material for various biomedical and material science applications.

Provided is a composition comprising one or more epoxy phosphate esters wherein the structure comprises two or more polyester linkages. Also provided is a method of making the epoxy phosphate esters that comprises reacting one or more epoxy-terminated polyesters with one or more phosphoric acids. Further provided is an adhesive composition that comprises one or more epoxy phosphate esters, one or more multifunctional isocyanate prepolymers, and one or more multifunctional isocyanate-reactive compounds.
