Benefits:

Enhanced durability of golf balls
Improved performance on the golf course

Commercial Applications: The technology can be utilized in the sports equipment industry for the production of high-quality golf balls with superior durability, appealing to professional and amateur golfers alike.

Questions about Golf Ball Technology: 1. How does the adhesion promoter in the cover compositions enhance the durability of golf balls? 2. What specific benefits do golf balls made from these compositions offer compared to traditional ones?

Frequently Updated Research: There may be ongoing research in the field of materials science and sports equipment technology related to improving the performance and durability of golf balls.

By using innovative casing and cover compositions with specific functional groups, golf balls can be manufactured with increased durability and performance on the golf course.

Original Abstract Submitted

Casing compositions including carboxylic acid groups, cover compositions including an adhesion promoter with functional groups that crosslink with carboxylic acid groups, and golf balls made from such compositions that have crosslinks between functional groups of the cover compositions and the carboxylic acid groups. 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. Additionally, methods of crosslinking casing and cover layers made from such casing and cover compositions to increase interlayer adhesion are disclosed.
