Potential of irradiated high density polyethylene/ethylene propylene rubber-carbon nanotube nanocomposite as shoe sole

The material selection for shoe soles is important as it determines the long-term performance of sports shoes, especially the performances of athletes' shoes with respect to comfort during walking, running and jumping. An effective approach is developed to establish a strong interface between t...
