MULTI-LAYER GOLF BALLS WITH IMPROVED INTERLAYER ADHESION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18108260 titled 'MULTI-LAYER GOLF BALLS WITH IMPROVED INTERLAYER ADHESION

Simplified Explanation: This patent application discusses casing compositions with carboxyl groups, cover compositions with hydroxyl groups, and an adhesion promoter that can crosslink these groups in golf balls, enhancing their durability.

Key Features and Innovation:

Casing compositions with carboxyl groups
Cover compositions with hydroxyl groups
Adhesion promoter capable of crosslinking carboxyl and hydroxyl groups
Golf balls with crosslinks between carboxyl and hydroxyl groups
Enhanced adhesion between components in golf balls

Potential Applications: This technology can be used in the manufacturing of golf balls to improve their durability and performance on the golf course.

Problems Solved: This technology addresses the issue of adhesion between the casing and cover compositions in golf balls, leading to increased durability and longevity.

Benefits:

Improved adhesion between components
Increased durability of golf balls
Enhanced performance on the golf course

Commercial Applications: The technology can be applied in the sports equipment industry, specifically in the production of high-quality golf balls for professional and recreational use.

Questions about Golf Ball Adhesion Technology: 1. How does the adhesion promoter enhance the durability of golf balls? 2. What are the specific benefits of crosslinking carboxyl and hydroxyl groups in golf ball compositions?

Original Abstract Submitted

Casing compositions including carboxyl groups, cover compositions including hydroxyl groups and an adhesion promoter capable of crosslinking carboxyl and hydroxyl groups, and golf balls made from such compositions that have crosslinks between carboxyl groups in the casing composition and hydroxyl groups in the cover composition. The type and concentration of the components in the casing and cover compositions, including the adhesion promoter, affect the adhesion between golf balls having components made from such compositions and, thus, can be used to produce a golf ball having increased durability.
