A foam composition comprises a recycled polyvinyl butyral in an amount from 5 wt % to 70 wt %; an ethylene-ester copolymer in an amount from 10 wt % to 70 wt %; a foaming agent in an amount from 0.5 wt % to 3.5 wt %; a peroxide crosslinking agent in an amount from 0.5 wt % to 3.0 wt %; and a hydrazide crosslinking agent in an amount from 0.1 wt % to 2.5 wt %, based on a total weight of the foam composition. A foam produced from the foam composition can avoid emitting an unpleasant odor of aldehydes, and the foam also has good mechanical properties and good resilience.

Disclosed are a composition for a striker cap with improved noise and separation force, a striker cap, and a method for manufacturing a striker cap. The method for manufacturing a striker cap includes: preparing a first compound by compounding a first polyamide resin and an inorganic filler; preparing a second compound by compounding a second polyamide resin and a polyolefin-based additive; blending the first compound and the second compound to obtain an admixture; and injecting the admixture.

The invention provides an enhanced electrospun film made from polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and at least one low-melting-point polymer in a ratio of 99.9:0.1-90:10 by weight, and the low-melting-point polymer having a melting point lower than the polyvinylidene fluoride and a softening point in the range of 110-140 C°. The enhanced electrospun film exhibits excellent mechanical properties, higher moisture permeability and hydrostatic pressure resistance. The invention further provides a method for manufacturing the enhanced PVDF electrospun film, and use of the enhanced PVDF electrospun film in preparing a waterproof and moisture permeable product.
