ABSTRACT

It is easy to get injured for athletes in sports, and the pursues of sport is get higher, faster, stronger and more accurate sports record. At the same, most of the sports needs the different equipment to protect us, make us more comfortable or get better achievements. This equipment is matched by kinds of materials. The polymer materials make an important role in all the materials worlds and have great market potential at different aspects and situation. So, it is significant to study the properties of kinds polymer materials and its commercial prospects. In this study, we make a practicable study about parts of polymer materials and take an investigation in its markets. We find that polymer materials can be divided into many kinds of materials, and sports polymer materials can be used to protect the human body from external force. They can keep warm, waterproof and windproof, and have the application of ventilation and scattering. In addition, polymer clothing can also be used as auxiliary equipment during sports to achieve better results. For example, shark skin bionic swimsuit can make athletes have less resistance in the water, so as to swim faster and achieve good records.
