Amide-modified polymer compositions and sports equipment made using the compositions

摘要: The present invention concerns polymer compositions to which a monomeric aliphatic, alicyclic, and/or aromatic amide, or amides, is added advantageously modify the properties of such for making sports equipment, as golf balls. amide used in an amount effective obtain desired composition properties, improved rheological while maintaining at least substantially products made using composition, coefficient restitution. aliphatic may be primary secondary tertiary bis and combinations thereof, have from about 5 100 carbon atoms, more typically 10 25 atoms. Moreover, saturated include one sites unsaturation, one, possibly plural double bonds that are all trans, cis, mixture cis trans bonds. One embodiment disclosed useful ball comprises suitable use, desirably properties. further 1 99 weight percent additional thermoplastic thermoset polymeric material. can make any component, core, layer other than core including cover, component ball, intermediate layer, cover. A method forming also comprising providing composition.
