Sole of shoe

Rubber is a polymer of isoprene (15). Natural rubber is obtained from the bark of the rubber tree as a milky white liquid, which is called latex (Fig. 19.8) and consists of a suspension of rubber particles in water. The rubber itself is a soft white solid that becomes even softer when warm. It is used for pencil erasers and was once used as crepe rubber for the soles of shoes.

A double door system with a gowning and degowning area is recommended since this can minimize the disruption of airflow into and out of the laboratory and provide a defined area for PPE disposal and storage. Sticky mats, also known as tack mats or adhesive mats, should be placed at all doorways to eliminate the possibility that material will be tracked outside of the laboratory on the soles of shoes. These mats should be changed on a regular basis to ensure their functionality caution should be used when changing the mats. 

Rubbers have physical characteristics and a chemical composition that precludes their successful identification by infrared spectroscopy due to their inherent elasticity and highly filled composition. In contrast, no such difficulties are encountered with Py-GC. Crime scene rubber evidence from automotive tires and rubber vehicle components is found in hit-and-run cases and in soles of shoes worn by offenders in offenses against property. Discrimination of vehicle bumper rubbers by Py-GC has been reported. Volatile and polymeric components of rubbers and other polymers have been analyzed by Py-GC and the inorganic residue recovered for subsequent analysis. The technique may also be used to quantitate rubber blends by measuring the ratios of characteristic pyrolysis products. Figure 8.8 shows examples of the pyrograms of three common types of rubber. 

Plastic waste is already used in a similar capacity. Poly(urethane) scrap from the shoe manufacturing industries are shredded and used as filler in the manufacture of the soles of shoes [11]. However, as yet there are no reports of plans to extend this disposal option to cover post-consumer wastes. 

SBS is a hard rubber, which is used in applications such as the soles of shoes, fine treads etc., where durability is important. PolystjTene is a tough hard plastic while polybutadiene is a rubbery material. The latter gives the SBS polymer its rubber-like properties while the former endow it with du-... 

The term polyurethane (PU) covers a number of polymer systems with one common element of chemistry, they contain an —NH—CO—O— linkage. Polyurethanes are used in a variety of applications where the need to form and mould the product into a desired shape makes the use of natural rubber based materials difficult. Such products include soles of shoes such as trainers, conveyor belts, foamed car seats and furniture, wiper blades in printers, etc. By changing the formulation it is possible to change a PU from being a hard material to being a very soft material. 

Tack pad, floor (contamination control) A sticky (high tack) surface placed on the floor and used to clean contamination from the soles of shoes and shoe coverings. 

Be sure the hands and soles of shoes are free of grease and oil. Nonskid paint on the standing surface of a walkie-rider unit will help the operator to keep from slipping. 

Ensure that the soles of shoes are free of grease, mud, oil, or any other slippery substance prior to climbing.
