Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A 3D loop article made of a material comprising polyethylene, ethylene/α-olefin copolymer, or a blend of polyethylene and ethylene/α-olefin copolymer, wherein the material has a low-perfection crystal melting enthalpy, calculated within a temperature range of 15-80° C., of less than or equal to 30 J/g.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A 3D loop article made of a material comprising polyethylene, ethylene/α-olefin copolymer, or a blend of polyethylene and ethylene/α-olefin copolymer, wherein the material has a low-perfection crystal melting enthalpy, calculated within a temperature range of 15-80° C., of less than or equal to 30 J/g. 2 . The 3D loop article of claim 1 , wherein the ethylene/α-olefin is selected from ethylene/α-olefin random copolymer, ethylene/α-olefin multi-block interpolymer, or a mixture thereof. 3 . The 3D loop article of claim 1 , wherein the material has a low-perfection crystal melting enthalpy, calculated within a temperature range of 15-80° C., of less than or equal to 29 J/g. 4 . The 3D loop article of claim 1 , wherein the material has a low-perfection crystal melting enthalpy, calculated within a temperature range of 15-80° C., of less than or equal to 25 J/g. 5 . The 3D loop article of claim 1 , wherein the material has a MI from about 3 g/10 min to about 20 g/10 min. 6 . The 3D loop article of claim 1 , wherein the material has a density of between about 0.880 g/cm 3 and about 0.920 g/cm 3 . 7 . The 3D loop article of claim 1 , wherein the 3D loop article has a compression residual strain at 70° C. of no greater than 25%. 8 . The 3D loop article of claim 1 , wherein the 3D loop article has a compression residual strain at 70° C. of no greater than 20%. 9 . The 3D loop article of claim 1 , wherein the material has a low-perfection crystal melting enthalpy, calculated within a temperature range of 15-80° C., of less than or equal to 21 J/g. 10 . The 3D loop article of claim 1 , wherein the 3D loop article are cushions for seats, mattress, or pillows. 11 . A method of producing the 3D loop article of claim 1 , comprising: extruding the material comprising polyethylene, ethylene/α-olefin copolymer, or a blend of polyethylene and ethylene/α-olefin copolymer; and performing a heat treatment at 70 to 90° C. for 0.5 hours to 5 days; wherein the material after heat treatment has a low-perfection crystal melting enthalpy, calculated within a temperature range of 15-80° C., of less than or equal to 30 J/g. 12 . A 3D loop article made by the process of claim 11 .
