本公开涉及缓冲构件、制造方法及使用方法，特别地涉及缓冲构件，该缓冲构件包括多个间隔开的柱，该柱包括聚合材料。

Description

制造冲击和振动吸收物品的深冲压方法及由此形成的物品
技术领域
本公开涉及制造聚合物品的方法及由此制得的物品，且具体地涉及制造具有改进的缓冲特性的聚合物品的方法及由此制得的物品。
相关案子
本文要求2008年4月14日提交的第61/044,859号美国临时专利申请的优先权，该专利申请在此通过引用整体并入。
背景技术
许多不同类型的产品得益于包含如下材料，其中该材料提供缓冲以用于冲击和振动衰减、抗压缩性、偏转、减小摩擦等。例如，许多常用的物体包含尤其是在反复运动时对于人的碰触来说较硬和/或当靠着人身体放置时引起摩擦的材料。通常认为希望使这样的物体的身体接触区域尽可能的柔软，以便例如通过减小压力和/或摩擦而使得它们的使用对于使用者更舒适。
进行了许多尝试来使这样的物体或这样的物体的身体接触区域对使用者更舒适。目前各种应用中使用的一种常见类型的缓冲材料为开放隔室泡沫。这样的泡沫的开放隔室能捕获碎片和湿气，从而支持诸如细菌和真菌等微生物的生长。因此，尽管开放隔室泡沫能够对许多应用提供足够的缓冲，但是支持细菌和真菌生长的趋势使其对接触身体的应用不太理想，如鞋类、运动保护垫、头盔内衬、医疗垫和背带、座位等。此外，根据应用，可能需要使用较厚和/或密的开放隔室泡沫以便实现期望的缓冲水平。随着泡沫厚度和/或密度的增加，重量也增加了，从而进一步限制开放隔室泡沫作为缓冲材料的应用。另外，对于具有非平面和/或复杂形状的物体，难以使缓冲材料的形状缝制成符合物体的形状。
本领域需要改进的冲击和振动吸收物品以及制造方法。
发明内容
在一种实施方式中，这里公开了包括多层材料的缓冲构件，该多层材料包括阻挡层、靠近阻挡层设置的聚合材料层，以及靠近阻挡层并与阻挡层相对设置的稳定层。在多层材料中设置有多个柱。多个柱中的每个柱包括厚度。在多个柱之间也设置有多个间隔区域。多个间隔区域包括间隔区域厚度。柱厚度大于间隔区域厚度。
在另一实施方式中，公开了一种缓冲构件，其包括多层材料，该多层材料包括阻挡层、靠近阻挡层设置的聚合材料层以及靠近阻挡层并与阻挡层相对设置的稳定层。在多层材料中设置有多个柱。多个柱中的每个包括大于或等于约0.125至1的厚度与宽度之比。
在又一实施方式中，在此公开了模制缓冲构件的方法，包括：将阻挡层设置在第一模具部分的上表面上，阻挡层包括厚度大于或等于约0.004″的热塑性弹性体(TPE)材料；在真空作用下相对于第一模具部分的表面拉动阻挡层；将聚合材料前体的第一部分分配到阻挡层上；将稳定层设置在前体上；将第二模具部分设置在稳定层上；以及使前体固化以形成缓冲构件。

具体实施方式
本公开涉及模制包括各种硬度的缓冲材料的相对廉价的方法及由此制造的物品。该方法意想不到地使得能够制造如下的材料，该材料包括厚度高达约三(3)英寸或更大的多个柱，其中柱之间的间隔区域窄至约千分之二英寸(0.002″)，且间隔区域厚度低至约0.005″。之前认为，不可能实现上述的较高的厚度和较窄的间隔。该方法能用来形成包括上述的间隔开的柱的材料的片，其能被切割成符合现有产品的形状。可选地，该方法能用于模制包括上述的间隔开的柱的各种商品，如鞋内底。
柱的大小、形状和构造、柱之间的间隔以及设置在柱中的材料全都能被设计成提供能根据希望或根据需要改变来实现所期的产品性能的振动衰减、冲击吸收、摩擦减少以及缓冲。特别地，柱的高度或厚度，与大致垂直的侧壁和带有半径的上边缘相结合，提供了多个柱，该柱足够柔韧以便能够在各个方向移动，从而引起大量冲击吸收和振动衰减。柱之间具有空间使柱能够独立地移动，而且还使材料能在柱之间弯曲和折曲，这可能是所期望的。由于柱之间的间隔，该材料也能在柱之间弯曲和折曲，从而使间隔区域能起到铰链的作用，并且允许材料符合非平表面(例如，头盔的内表面)。所希望的间隔量能由所希望的弯曲和/或折曲的量以及诸如重量减轻、均匀性和缓冲类型等事项来确定。
柱能够通过从一侧到另一侧折曲或移动来分散冲击和振动。柱折曲的量随柱高度(或厚度)与柱基部宽度之比增加而增加。当柱高度关于柱基部宽度减小时，折曲的量开始更接近平的材料件的折曲的量。因此，较高的窄的柱能够比由相同材料制成的较短的窄的柱具有更大的折曲程度。柱高度与柱基部宽度之比能从约0.125∶1至约8∶1，更具体地从约0.25∶1至约6∶1，且更具体地从约0.50∶1至2∶1。柱在前述比之下折曲是可能的。
通过提供具有大致垂直壁的柱，可以减小柱之间的间隔，同时保持大的高度与基部宽度比。例如，壁向外倾斜的柱的基部比具有垂直壁的柱宽。因而，具有向外倾斜的侧壁的柱的高度大于具有垂直壁的柱的高度，以便实现相同的柱高度与柱基部宽度比。
在其它实施方式中，柱可以包括大致不垂直的侧壁，例如宽度小于柱的上表面的宽度的侧壁，或者形成凹口或被底切的侧壁。包括这样的凹口或底切的柱能够比具有垂直侧壁的柱有更大的弯曲。
该方法包括模制聚合材料以形成前述的具有间隔开的柱的缓冲材料。应理解，该方法不限于聚合材料，且能用该方法模制除了聚合材料以外的材料(如，复合材料、发泡泡沫等)。该方法特别适合于模制较低粘性或低硬度聚合材料，如聚合凝胶材料，特别是粘弹性聚合材料(下文称为“凝胶”)。具有较低硬度的凝胶，如粘弹性凝胶，能为极其粘的，使它们难以或不可能在工业过程工艺如注射模制中使用，这是因为材料能粘到模具。
图1-12一起示出根据本公开的用于形成包括前述的柱的物品的示例性方法。该方法包括选择用于所希望的产品的合适的模具10，如图1-2所示，其可包括相对的上表面12和下表面14。如所示，模具10可包括限定在模具的上表面12中的凹进区域16，该凹进区域16从上表面12凹进深度“D1”。应理解，术语“底部”和“顶部”和/或“上部”和“下部”在此被使用仅为了方便说明，除非另外表明，且不限于任何一个位置或空间方位。而且，应理解，术语“第一”、“第二”等在此不表示任何顺序、数量或重要性，而是用来区分一个元件与另一元件，而且术语“一”和“一个”在此不表示对数量的限制，而是表示存在至少一个参考项。此外，除非另外限定，本文使用的技术术语和科学术语的意思与本公开所属技术领域的技术人员通常理解的意思相同。
本示例性的模具10包括两个(2个)限定在凹进区域16中的模具单元18，每个模具单元18对应于期望的最终模制产品19的形状和尺寸，模制产品19在此示例中是鞋内底。尽管为了方便在此示出为鞋内底，但是应理解，能使用本方法模制各种产品。两个(2个)模具单元18中的每个包括由区域16a间隔开的多个隔室18a。每个隔室18a包括基部18b和侧壁18c，侧壁18c大致垂直于基部18b和模具10的上表面12延伸，同时在基部18b和侧壁18c之间延伸有圆角边“R”。圆角边“R”有助于提高最终产品的冲击和振动衰减。隔室18a每个从上表面12凹进深度“D2”，深度“D2”与最终的模制产品19的期望厚度相对应。隔室18a可根据希望或根据需要包括各种形状、尺寸和构造。
模具10还可包括位于模具10的凹进区域16和周边“P”之间的垫片凹部23，垫片20可设置在垫片凹部23中。可选择地，尽管在此没有示出，但是垫片20直接设置在模具10的上表面12上是可能的。垫片20能提供足以限制聚合物从模具10流动的密封。垫片20或模具10能够包括周期性的垫片开口22(参见图1)以允许在模制过程中残存的空气能流出模具10。可选地，模具10可包括一个或多个定位导引件24(例如，销、双头螺栓等)。
如图3所示，在选择了合适的模具10之后，该方法包括将阻挡层26设置在模具10上。如果希望，能预加热模具和/或阻挡层26(例如，使用辐射热)，且能应用真空(例如，约5至15psi)来使阻挡层26相对于模具表面更近地拉动，这对于较厚的柱或当物品需要更多限定时
(例如，当它们包括诸如底切等的特征时)是理想的。可以在将阻挡层设置在模具10上之前或之后使用各种技术对阻挡层进行预加热，各种技术包括但不限于辐射热、热量热等。此外，如果需要，能在整个模制过程中使用热和/或真空。阻挡层26能作为材料片设置在模具10上或者作为涂层直接应用到模具上。当作为片应用时，能将阻挡层26应用到模具上，与垫片20物理接触，使得其符合模具18和各个隔室18a的轮廓。当作为片应用时，阻挡层26也能包括与模具10中的定位导引件24对应的定位导引件(例如，孔、穿孔等，以及类似物)，以便辅助其对齐到模具10和随后的层。如果阻挡层26不作为片被设置，则其可直接设置在模具10的上表面12上。如果希望，可使用释放涂层(未显示)来辅助从模具10的上表面12释放阻挡层26。
如图4所示，在将阻挡层26设置在模具10的上表面12上之后，能将聚合前体材料28分配到阻挡层26上。如此处使用的“聚合前体”指的是还没有聚合形成聚合物的聚合前体材料，包括本领域中称为“发泡泡沫”的聚合材料。能利用各种技术，例如但不限于浇注、注射和/或类似方法来将前体28设置在阻挡层26上。
分配前体28可包括浇注足够量(例如，体积)的前体以填充两(2)个单独模具单元18中的每个，而不是填充单个模具单元18，如在诸如注射模制的其它工艺中一样。例如，诸如注射模制的其它方法可包括分别将前体28分配到每个模具单元18。因此，使用目前的模具，将需要两(2)个分开的分配步骤。相比之下，本方法可包括一次将前体28分配到阻挡层26上(如，单次“浇注”)，且前体28的单次分配能提供足够量的前体28来在单次模制循环中形成所有模具单元18。相比其它方法，本方法的整批而不是分开地分配前体28能实质减少制造时间。
如图5和6所示，在将前体28分配到阻挡层26上之后，可以将稳定层30设置在前体28上，例如，以片的形式。如果模具10包括定位导引件24，则稳定层30也可以包括相应的定位导引件(未显示)以辅助其定位到模具10和任何随后的层。将稳定层30设置在前体上可包括将稳定层30的一部分设置在前体28的一部分上使得在前体28和稳定层30之间存在界面32。将稳定层30设置在前体28上可利用诸如辊子27的工具手动执行，如图5所示，或者该过程能自动进行。通过对界面32后面的稳定层30施加压力并且推进界面32直到稳定层30覆盖整个前体28，能够将稳定层30的其余部分推进到前体28的其余部分上，如图6所示。当推进稳定层30时施加的压力实质使前体28和稳定层30之间的气泡的形成最小化。
如图7所示，例如通过将模具盖子10a放置在稳定层30上能够闭合模具10。当模具10闭合时，前体28能流入模具10的由垫片20限定的所有区域中，包括各个模具18和隔室18a，且任何残存空气可通过垫片开口22流出模具。
如图8和9所示，可以允许前体28在预定的时间段内(如30秒至5分钟)在闭合模具10中聚合形成聚合物29。模制过程通常可包括约60psi的压力，但是如上面提到的，如果需要，能因各种原因，例如，为了增加加工的速度、为了提高最终材料的质量、为了改变聚合物的表面性能等，在加工过程中对模具施加额外的压力、热和/或真空。结果，与诸如注射模制的其它方法相比，用于生产多个模制产品19的整个加工时间能显著减少。此外，因为分配前体28所用的时间比其它方法减少了，所以通过改变诸如压力、温度、催化剂浓度(当使用时)等多个因素来提高固化的速度是可能的。当待形成的物品需要诸如底切等的更多限定时，在模制过程期间使用热、压力和/或真空可能是理想的。当真空成形或热成形时，利用至少部分地由多孔复合材料形成的模具可能是理想的，这允许在模制物品中形成复杂的细节和表面图案，并且在模具中不需要排气孔。这样的多孔复合材料的一个示例是透气铝，其可以商标名METAPORTM商购获得。
固化之后，可以打开模具10，且能从模具10移去包括模制产品19(在此示例中为鞋内底)的片32(示出部分截面)，如图10所示。如所示，每个模制产品19包括多个柱21。如上面提到的，柱的尺寸、形状和构造能被改变。阻挡层26和稳定层30的存在能有利于片32的处理，这是因为聚合物29由层26、30包封，这在聚合物29具有粘性性能(例如聚合凝胶材料)时是有利的，否则该粘性性能将使其粘到诸如模具表面的表面、用户的手等。片32包括位于柱21之间且使柱21互相连接的多个较薄的区域29a。聚合物的区域29a可以包括与模具10的凹进区域16的深度D1对应的厚度“T1”。为了最小化浪费，或当希望区域29a的厚度T1尽可能薄时，凹进区域16的深度D1可以选择成尽可能小的同时仍允许不限制前体28流入由垫片20限定的区域中。因而，最小化区域29a中的聚合物的厚度可导致包括略微大于阻挡层和稳定层的组合厚度的厚度T1，如图12所示。
通过切割(例如，模切等)穿过阻挡层26、聚合物区域29a和稳定层30，模制产品19能够从片32分离以及从彼此分离。模制产品19可在聚合物区域29和29a之间和/或通过聚合物区域29被模切。当聚合物29具有粘性性质时，则通过聚合物区域29的靠近聚合物区域29a的一部分进行模切可能是理想的，使得模制单元19的侧面包括暴露的聚合物区域。另外，暴露的区域29a的边缘充分薄，以便当不希望或不需要时避免或最小化产品19的边缘粘到相邻表面。在模切过程中，稳定层30的存在防止或最小化聚合物29和阻挡层26收缩，从而与模具单元18的尺寸相比大致保持了模制产品19的尺寸。由于能最小化模制产品19的收缩，所以不需要将收缩考虑到模具的设计中，而其它方法可能需要考虑收缩。
可选地，可以将相同或不同材料的层34(参见图16)设置在任何前面的层之间，例如，在稳定层30和聚合物29之间和/或在聚合物29和阻挡层26之间。而且可选地，例如，通过将前体28的第一部分设置在阻挡层26上、将层34设置在前体28的第一部分上以及将前体28的第二部分设置在层34上，能将层34设置在区域29中。层34可以包括各种合成和/或非合成材料，包括但不限于：纸、织物、塑料膜、金属箔和/或类似材料，以及复合材料和/或包括前述中的至少一种的组合。当层34包括织物层时，织物能为针织的、机织的、无纺的、合成的、非合成的以及包括前述中的至少一种的组合。将织物层设置为层34可能是有利的，这是因为其能捕获并分散气泡，否则气泡可能在层中或层之间形成，从而导致最终的模制产品19的更好的外观。层34还可包括颜色、图像和/或标记，包括文字。当其它层由无色和/或透明材料形成时，设置在层34上的颜色、图像和/或标记能传输通过其它层，这对审美原因和成本原因来说可能是希望的。另外，如果希望，层34可以是流体可渗透的。如此处使用的“流体可渗透的”指形成层34的材料对诸如前体的流体材料的通过或进入是开放的。
而且，可选地，能用层34代替稳定层30。如果层34代替稳定层30，则其能以与上面关于稳定层30说明的方式相同的方式应用。
在某些情形，可能期望能够将模制产品19粘到各种表面。因而，可选地，可在最终的模制产品19的一个或多个表面上设置粘合剂(未显示)。而且可选地，可在层26、28、30和34的一个或多个表面上设置粘合剂。例如，参考图11，粘合剂可设置在表面30b上，而且可通过释放层和/或支撑层(未显示)来支撑粘合剂。一些可能的粘合剂可包括压敏粘合剂、热塑性粘合剂等，以及包括前述中的至少一种的组合。合适的粘合剂的示例包括可从3M得到的作为产品号7026的材料。
在一些情形，聚合物29可包括足够的粘合强度以在没有分离的粘合剂的情况下粘到表面。在这样的情形，能够从聚合物29手动释放稳定层30可能是理想的。因而，可选地，稳定层30可包括设置在表面30a上的诸如硅树脂的释放涂层(未显示)，其能辅助从聚合物29手动释放稳定层30。
能在前述方法中使用各种材料来制造前述的模制产品19。阻挡层26可包括能够提供以下性能的任何材料：足够的弹性以防止在力施加至其时撕裂和/或拉伸；足够的结构完整性以形成预先确定的形状；以及能够承受其预期使用的环境而大致没有劣化的任何材料。阻挡层26也可选择成有利于聚合物层的处理，这在某些情形下可包括粘合性能。因此，在模制之后，阻挡层26可选择成包括对人触摸来说相对非粘性的表面和相对平滑的感觉。用于阻挡层26的一些可能的材料包括：聚烯烃、聚苯乙烯、PVC、胶乳橡胶和热塑性弹性体(TPE)和/或类似材料，以及包括前述材料中的至少一种的组合。一些可能的TPE材料包括聚氨基甲酸酯、硅树脂和/或类似材料，以及包括前述材料中的至少一种的组合。阻挡层26可包括的延伸率为约100百分比(％)至约1500％，更具体地约200％至约1000％，且更具体地约300％至约700％。
应理解，关于数量使用的修饰语“约”包括所述值，并具有由上下文指定的意思(例如，包括与特定数量的测量结果相关的误差度)。用于阻挡层26的其它可能材料包括但不限于：织物、纸、塑料(如，聚酯、聚乙烯、聚氯乙烯(PVC)及类似材料)金属、金属化塑料和/或类似材料，以及包括前述材料中的至少一种的组合。
阻挡层26可包括能够允许产品被模制而不粘到模具的任何厚度。阻挡层26的厚度可根据应用而改变，且特定应用的所希望的厚度可由本领域技术人员使用常规试验来确定。阻挡层26可包括的厚度范围从约0.2毫英寸(下文“密耳”)至约60密耳，更具体地从约0.5密耳至约30密耳，且更具体地从约1.0密耳至约15密耳。例如，在产品的手感是重要的情形中，发现，这可利用较薄的阻挡层26来实现。因而，在这样的产品中，在可能不牺牲耐用性的情况下使用最薄的阻挡层可能是理想的。例如，对于希望较薄的阻挡层26的应用，其可包括的厚度范围从约0.2毫英寸至约6密耳，更具体地从约0.5密耳至约3密耳，且更具体地从约0.6密耳至约2密耳。当聚合层29的硬度为使得其为粘性时，如果阻挡层26被刺穿则粘性材料可能被暴露，使得产品难以处理。在这种情形中，使用能与较薄的阻挡层相比提供提高的耐用性的较厚的阻挡层26可能是理想的。例如，当在振动衰减应用中使用目前的材料时，阻挡层26的厚度为约50密耳至约60密耳可能是理想的。当使用热成形工艺形成本产品时，使用厚度高达约1/8英寸的阻挡层可能是理想的，且当希望或需要时在某些情形中使用甚至更厚的阻挡层。已经发现，可以通过在热成形工艺过程中应用热和/或真空来使具有差不多6密耳或更大的厚度的阻挡层维持非常柔软的柔韧性。
如上面提到的，在模制过程中，阻挡层26能以材料片应用。在片的形式，且尤其是当阻挡层较薄时，阻挡材料能是非常柔韧的且可以在处理过程中起皱和/或非常容易折叠。因而，阻挡层26还可包括辅助处理材料的支撑层(未显示)。如果阻挡层26包括这样的支撑层，那么支撑层能邻近模具10的上表面12设置，其中阻挡层材料背离上表面12，如果希望或需要，其能在模切之前移除。
同样，如上面提到的，如果阻挡层26不作为片应用，则其能在模制过程中或模制过程之后作为材料的涂层来应用。如果在模制过程之后应用，则能例如通过手动涂、喷、刷和/或类似方法来在模制单元18形成之后将阻挡层设置在前体28上。当在模制过程中阻挡层26没有设置为片形式或没有设置为涂层形式时，则能将前体28直接设置在模具10的上表面12上，这可能需要在上表面12上使用脱模剂。
聚合物29、29a可包括包含充足的结构完整性以形成预定形状的任何聚合材料，包括泡沫聚合材料和发泡泡沫聚合材料；以及能够承受其预期使用的环境而大致没有劣化的材料。材料(例如，聚合物材料)的硬度能选择成提供具有预定硬度的物品和/或物品的区域，其能缝制用于特定的缓冲和/或耐磨应用。聚合物29、29a可包括范围从约30肖氏000至约88肖氏D的硬度。聚合物的硬度能由本领域技术人员使用诸如硬度计或硬度测量计的工具来确定。
合适的聚合材料的示例包括但不限于热固性聚合材料、弹性体聚合材料、热塑性材料，包括热塑性弹性体材料，以及包括前述中的至少一种的组合。一些可能的聚合材料包括但不限于聚氨基甲酸酯、硅树脂和/或类似材料，以及包括前述材料中的至少一种的组合。其它材料的示例包括但不限于复合材料等。一种合适的材料为聚氨基甲酸酯发泡泡沫，其可以名称
Figure BPA00001263393300121
商购获得。
前体28的形成能通过本领域技术人员已知的各种方法来进行。例如，聚氨基甲酸酯凝胶的形成可包括使合适的预聚合前体材料反应，例如，在有催化剂存在的情况下使多元醇和异氰酸盐反应。
在一些情形，可能希望聚合物为足够柔软和/或柔韧以对身体提供舒适性。在这样的情形中，聚合物可包括范围从约0.01肖氏00至小于或等于约70肖氏A，更具体地小于70肖氏00，更具体地小于60肖氏00的硬度。
在一些实施方式中，可能希望聚合物具有足够的粘合强度以粘到所选的表面(如鞋的内表面)，这能不需要单独的粘合剂来将模制单元粘到期望的表面。通过改变例如形成层所用的材料的硬度来改变聚合物的粘合强度是可能的。在该情形中，聚合物可包括，例如，硬度为约30肖氏000至约85肖氏00的聚合物。在这样较低的硬度范围中的凝胶材料包括胶剂状稠度。具有这样的粘性特性的一种可能材料是包括硬度范围为约50肖氏00至约70肖氏00范围的聚氨基甲酸酯凝胶，其能提供足够的粘合强度以粘到所期望的表面，例如鞋内的表面，或硬塑料如聚丙烯。
而且，尽管此处示出为聚合物，但是能使用其它材料来形成层和/或区域29、29a，例如复合材料。
聚合物29和/或阻挡层26能包括一种或多种添加剂，例如但不限于调节剂、着色剂、稳定剂、相变材料、紫外线抑制剂和/或活性剂以及包括前述中的至少一种的组合。添加剂的浓度可根据所需要的剂的效能来改变。
一种可能的相变材料可包括相变微球体(以产品名Outlast可得)，其包含能在接近体温下改变相的材料。因此，可在阻挡层中储存热能，产生能感觉冷或暖的产品。
合适的活性剂可包括托萘酯、十一烯酸、丙烯胺、氯、铜、碳酸氢钠、吡硫钠、奥麦丁锌、吡咯、银和/或类似材料，以及包括前述中的至少一种的组合。例如，银能提供抗真菌/抗菌效果。为了经济和有效性，发现当使用时在阻挡层26中包括活性剂是有利的。因为阻挡层26相比聚合物29来说较薄，所以在阻挡层26中设置这种剂允许使用减少的总剂量来实现相比较厚的层来说类似的有效浓度，从而降低与添加剂相关的成本。而且，在阻挡层26中设置这种剂确保该剂设置在物品的最外层中，即接触身体的区域中，而不是在远离用户的区域中，这能提高剂的效能。
在一些情形中，可能希望对阻挡层、聚合物层和稳定层中的每个层使用无色材料，这对于美学原因来说是理想的。在另一实施方式中，当结构中包括层34，且该层包括颜色、图像和/或标记时，可能也希望使用无色和/或透明材料，这是因为颜色、图像和/或标记通过这些层将是可见的。
稳定层30可包括这样的材料，该材料能够在加工过程中和加工之后大致最小化阻挡层26、前体28和/或聚合物29的收缩；该材料能对聚合物29提供支撑；以及该材料能够有利于聚合物29和阻挡层26的处理。稳定层30可包括与聚合物29相比大致无弹性的任何材料，以便能够在加工过程中和加工之后提供给片32和/或模制产品19尺寸稳定性。用于稳定层30的一些可能材料包括但不限于织物、纸、塑料(例如，聚酯、聚乙烯、聚氯乙烯(PVC)及类似材料)金属、金属化塑料和/或类似材料，以及包括前述材料中的至少一种的组合。稳定层30可包括对于特定应用所希望的任何厚度，该厚度可由本领域技术人员来确定。例如，在一些实施方式中，稳定层30可包括的厚度范围从约0.2密耳至约10密耳，更具体地从约0.5密耳至约5密耳，且更具体地从约1密耳至约2密耳。在前述厚度范围中可用的一种可能材料是定向的聚酯膜，其可从各种来源以及各种不同的产品名称(如，

商购。在其它实施方式中，稳定层30可包括的厚度范围从约1毫米(mm)至约8mm，更具体地从约2mm至约6mm，且更具体地从约3mm至约4mm。具有前述范围的厚度的一种可能材料为聚氨基甲酸酯泡沫，其能以名称

前述方法和材料能有利于聚合物品和/或物品的区域的制造，该聚合物品和/或物品的区域对美学和/或最小化磨损和/或摩擦来说是希望的。该方法能用于形成包括任何尺寸、厚度或几何形状的聚合物品和/或物品的区域。物品和/或物品的部分的尺寸、厚度、几何形状、柔软度和粘合强度能被选择成使其设计的条件最佳。前述聚合材料能是有用的物品的示例包括但不限于：用于个人护理物体如梳子、牙刷和剃刀的手柄；医疗设备如面罩、拐杖和石膏绷带；用于家用物体如扫帚的手柄；用于行李箱、背包、公文包和手提包的带子；衣服如骑行短裤、内衣和鞋；用途物体如鼠标垫、键盘垫；用于消费品如瓶子和/或盒子的手柄和/或带子、洗衣剂手柄；体育用品设备和附件如球拍握把、棒球手柄、钓竿手柄、枪和自行车把手握柄；及类似物。此外，物品可包括标记，诸如带有颜色、文字和/或图像的标签等。
图13-14一起示出了示例性的鞋内底40，其能利用前述方法和材料形成。鞋内底40可包括相对的上表面40a和下表面40b。在本示例性的实施方式中，鞋内底40可包括范围从约0.020″至约11/4英寸的总厚度，但应理解，本方法能实现其它厚度，这取决于应用。阻挡层26可靠近聚合物层29设置，且稳定层30可设置在聚合物层29的与阻挡层26相对的一侧上。如果需要，鞋内底40可包括设置在阻挡层26中的活性剂，例如杀真菌剂。在一个示例性的实施方式中，阻挡层26可包括诸如银的活性剂，以预防和/或治疗运动员的足部的状况。一种包括这种活性剂的可能的阻挡层26为可从Omniflex，Inc得到的Vacuflex18411 AG。
在另一实施方式中，聚合物层29可包括足以允许其粘到诸如鞋的内表面的表面的粘合强度。因此，稳定层30可以选择地包括设置在表面30a上的释放涂层(未显示)，如硅树脂，其能有助于从聚合物29手动释放稳定层30，从而暴露聚合物29以便允许其粘到表面。
在另一实施方式中，可在稳定层30的表面40b上设置粘合剂(未显示)，如压敏粘合剂，以允许鞋内底40粘到表面，如鞋的内表面。例如，如果稳定层30不包括在表面30a上的释放涂层，则这样的选择可能是有用的。
图15-16示出示例性的带子50，其能利用前述方法和材料形成。在本示例性的实施方式中，带子50可包括靠近第一聚合物层29设置的阻挡层26、设置在聚合物层29的与阻挡层26相对的一侧上的织物层34、靠近织物层34设置的稳定层30。
如上面提到的，层34可以是至少部分地流体可渗透的，这能允许前体通过层34的至少一部分(例如，通过机织织物的线股)渗透。因而，在模制过程期间，当层34为流体可渗透的时，前体能至少部分地流动透过层34或层34的一部分，且在层34的与聚合物层29相对的侧上产生粘的粘合表面，该表面可以为连续的或不连续的层，这取决于流过层34的前体的量。因而，在最终产品中，层34可以夹在至少部分地互相连接的两个凝胶层之间。应理解，凝胶渗透到和/或通过层34的程度取决于各种因素，包括但不限于：材料类型、材料厚度、材料流体可渗透的程度(例如，层34中的任何孔和/或开口的尺寸等)、凝胶的粘性、模制压力和稳定等。因此，层29a的厚度且无论该层是连续的或不连续的，也都取决于前述内容。
如上面提到的，层29、29a的粘合强度可以根据各种因素而改变。在一个实施方式中，如果聚合物层29a具有足够的粘合强度，则其能用于直接将带子50粘到表面，诸如肩包(未显示)的内表面，从而不需要单独的粘合剂。在另一实施方式中，如果需要，能在聚合物层29a和稳定层30之间设置粘合剂(未显示)。带子50可通过翻转并移除稳定层30、暴露粘性聚合物层29a并将聚合物层29a粘到带子50而设置在鞋(未显示)中。如果需要，带子50可以包括设置在阻挡层26中的杀真菌剂，如在前述实施方式中的一样。
在前述任一实施方式，着色或图案化的层34(如，着色和/或图案化的织物层)结合透明聚合物的使用能提供呈现着色或图案化的聚合物物品。这能产生与简单地使用着色或染色的聚合物相比可能有更多的颜色变化的物品。在层34的美学中使用图案化织物或金属光泽织物或其它变体能赋予聚合物物品这些美学；这样的美学不可能或难以通过给聚合物染色或印刷聚合物物品来赋予聚合物物品。该过程也提供给着色或印刷聚合物潜在的经济优势。
本公开的方法可包括以下一种或多种优势：1)该方法允许形成包括多个柱的产品；2)各个柱能够被压缩，以及能从一边到另一边移动，这能适合于在各种应用中提供缓冲和振动衰减；3)柱的厚度和/或柱之间的间隔能适合于提供期望的冲击和振动吸收特性；4)产品能形成有变化的厚度和/或变化的柱之间间隔的柱，以提供具有变化的冲击和振动吸收程度的区域的产品；5)柱区域的使用能使得总体缓冲比当其由固体聚合物制成时的总体缓冲更轻且更柔韧，同时仍保持缓冲所必须的聚合物厚度；6)在聚合物层的相对侧上使用较薄的阻挡层和释放层允许在模制设备中且通过设备操作者处理较低硬度的聚合材料而不粘到设备和/或操作者；7)较薄的阻挡层的使用允许使用减小的添加剂总量，这降低了成本；8)较薄的阻挡层的使用允许将较低硬度的聚合材料模制成各种形状、尺寸、密度，并形成截面区域的尺寸、形状和密度变化的物品；9)稳定层的使用减小和/或消除了在加工过程中和加工之后前体、聚合物和/或阻挡层的收缩；以及10)当使用聚氨基甲酸酯凝胶时，该过程能够提供无色且透明的物品，该物品不变黄，而暴露于紫外线能量之后的聚氨基甲酸酯通常变黄。
尽管参考示例性实施方式说明了本公开，但是本领域技术人员应理解，在不偏离本公开的范围的情况下，可进行各种改变且等效物可替代其要素。此外，可进行许多修改来使特定的情形或材料适合本公开的教导而不偏离其实质范围。因此，预期到的是，本公开不限于作为实现本公开所考虑的最佳模式所公开的特定实施方式，而是本公开将包括落入所附权利要求范围内的所有实施方式。
