ABSTRACT:
A material is formed by needling a layer of hydrophobic fibers into one face of a layer of closed-cell, foamed, thermoformable plastic, and needling a layer of hydrophilic fibers into the opposite face so that the hydrophobic fibers and the hydrophilic fibers overlap within the foam. The material may be thermoformed to produce articles having a surface shape conforming to the contours of a region of the human body such as resilient supportive innersoles, soft casts or splints, and impact-absorbing pads. Such articles, in addition to their usual function, wick perspiration and moisture away from the skin.
