FOOTWEAR SOLE STRUCTURE HAVING COMPOSITE ELEMENT AND METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING SAME

One or more aspects of the present disclosure provide for composite elements that include a textile having a plurality of fibers, the plurality of fibers comprising a first thermoplastic material; and a second thermoplastic material surrounding the plurality of fibers of the textile and consolidating at least a portion of the textile, wherein the second thermoplastic material has a melting temperature lower than a melting temperature of the first thermoplastic material. The composite elements can be used as part of a cushioning structure, whereby the composite element imparts puncture resistant to the cushioning structure. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure. 本公开内容的一个或更多个方面提供了复合元件，该复合元件包括：具有多于一种纤维的纺织品，该多于一种纤维包含第一热塑性材料；和第二热塑性材料，该第二热塑性材料包围纺织品的多于一种纤维并固结纺织品的至少一部分，其中第二热塑性材料具有比第一热塑性材料的熔化温度低的熔化温度。复合元件可以用作缓冲结构的部件，由此复合元件赋予缓冲结构耐穿刺性。本摘要意图作为用于在特定领域中检索目的的浏览工具且不意图限制本公开内容。
