Abstract
Abstract Composite materials are formed by subjecting a highly elastic material to a plasma treatment and then allowing a polyurethane foam forming mixture to foam on the plasma treated surface. These composites are particularly useful as shoe soles and as insulating materials.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
43 words
A process for the production of a composite system of a highly elastic material and a polyurethane foam layer in which the surface of the highly elastic material is subjected to a plasma treatment and a polyurethane foam layer is then foamed thereon.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
43 words
A process for the production of a composite system of a highly elastic material and a polyurethane foam layer in which the surface of the highly elastic material is subjected to a plasma treatment and a polyurethane foam layer is then foamed thereon.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The process of claim 1 in which the surface of the highly elastic material is degreased with a non-etching solvent before the plasma treatment.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
