Remoldable thermoplastic impact structures: NikeRecent Research Landscape

Non-uniform thermal distribution during molding causes structural defects and warping in complex articles. Precise heat transfer through formable media ensures consistent material flow and dimensional stability.

What technical problems is Nike addressing in Remoldable thermoplastic impact structures?

Interfacial bonding failure

(7)evidences

Conventional molding processes limit the complexity and precision of integrated foam structures. Overcoming these constraints allows for superior impact absorption and customized mechanical properties in footwear.

Inconsistent thermoplastic structural integrity

(2)evidences

Conventional heating methods often fail to provide consistent thermal distribution across complex three-dimensional geometries. Achieving uniform heat penetration prevents structural defects and ensures consistent material properties during the remolding process.
