4 Reformable resin fibers WO2016065104 2016-04-28 Applicant(s): Zephyros The present invention contemplates a method for forming a reformable epoxy resin material into a fiber format and: (i) weaving the reformable epoxy resin material (10) with a reinforcing fiber (12) to form a woven material; (ii) stitching a secondary material (14) with reformable epoxy resin material; and optionally (iii) forming a web or mesh with the reformable epoxy resin material.
5 Recyclable shoe insole S2015359295 2015-12-17 Applicant(s): TIETEX INTERNATIONAL A Strobel Insole of fully recyclable stitch-bonded fabric for use in construction of a shoe using the California Slip Last construction method. The stitch-bonded fabric is substantially 100% polyester stitched with two different yarns in different patterns. One side of the stitch-bonded fabric is subject to abrasion to break filaments of a relatively low denier stitching yarn to yield a soft brushed surface. A method of insole fabric production is also provided
