A gel material made of thermoplastic elastomers. The thermoplastic elastomers content in the gel material is very less. Even after the reduction of thermoplastic elastomers, the gel material has superior properties. The gel material of the disclosure is cost effective and has good strength. The present disclosure also relates to a cushioning material made of gel of thermoplastic elastomers. Furthermore, the present disclosure also relates to a process for making the gel and the cushioning material.

A composite structural article (100) includes a polymeric body (35) having a first major surface (24) and an opposing second major surface (22) and a rib element (30) extending away from the first major surface. A reinforcing member (10) is embedded within a free end portion (34) of the rib member (30). The reinforcing member includes an elongated polymer rod having a rod length and a plurality of co-extending continuous fibers (20), embedded and distributed within the elongated polymer rod. The fibers are under tension and may have a helical or twisted configuration along the rod length.
