  • Ultrasonic welding of technical textile components used in cold weather shoes
    Eryürük, Selin Hanife ...
    Some of the expected performance features of technical textile components usedin production of cold climate shoes are water resistance, wind resistance, breathability, tensile and seam strength. It ... is critical that the seams at the joint pieces provide protection against cold weather conditions such as snow, rain and wind. Joining techniques commonly used in textile production are traditional sewing, adhesive bonding, thermal bonding, ultrasonic bonding and laser bonding. Traditional sewing methods no longer meet the technical requirements for joining the parts in cold weather shoes. Ultrasonic welding technique has been offering a significant competition to classic assembly methods with solvents and adhesives or traditional sewing. The main advantages of ultrasonic welding technique are short welding times, the good quality of welded joints, reduced manufacturing time and energy costs. In this study selection and joining of technical textile components using ultrasonic welding and traditional sewing methods were performed. Three types of laminated fabrics and a spacer fabric were used to produce a socklike shoe insert. Laminated fabrics were also joined with a breathable and water impermeable membrane using ultrasonic welding method. Ultrasonic welded and traditionally sewn fabric pieces were analysed of as a function of performance characteristics such as water permeability, moisture vapour resistance, air permeability and the strength of welded joints.
