Abstract
This disclosure provides an article having a density of from 0.03 to 0.45 g/cc and including a plurality of anisotropic tubular particles that are randomly oriented in the article. The tubular particles include a thermoplastic elastomer foam and a polymer disposed on an exterior surface of the thermoplastic elastomer foam as an outermost layer of the particles. Each of the thermoplastic elastomer foam and the polymer independently has a softening temperature determined according to DIN ISO306. The softening temperature of the polymer is at least 5° C. lower than the softening temperature of the thermoplastic elastomer foam.
