This disclosure relates to a wearable absorbent article comprising at least one material layer and a conductor arrangement that is at least partially deposited on, optionally printed onto, the material layer. The conductor arrangement is formed from a composition comprising a dialcohol cellulose and an electrically conductive material.

Wearable absorbent article with a conductor arrangement

Absorbent product includes a nonwoven material arranged to be in contact with skin of a user during use of the absorbent product. The nonwoven material includes non-absorbent and/or absorbent fibres. The fibres, at least on a surface arranged to be in contact with skin of a user during use of the absorbent product, have a coarseness of from 0.1 to 10 dtex, or from 0.5 to 7 dtex. The fibres and/or the nonwoven material is coated with a lubricating coating composition suitable for use in absorbent and/or hygiene products at least on a surface arranged to be in contact with skin of a user during use of the absorbent product. By the product including the nonwoven, wet friction can be reduced between the nonwoven and the skin of the user.

Absorbent product comprising a nonwoven material

An absorbent article includes a liquid permeable top sheet, a liquid impermeable back sheet, an absorbent core being arranged between the top sheet and the back sheet, and an acquisition and distribution layer (ADL) of a nonwoven material being arranged between the top sheet and the absorbent core. The nonwoven material has a basis weight of 20-40 g/m, 3-20 through holes per cm, the holes having a diameter in CD and MD of 1-3 mm, and at least 70% by weight of the nonwoven ADL includes fibers having a fiber diameter of 12-22 &#x3bc;m.

Absorbent article having acquisition layer

An absorbent article such as a diaper, panty diaper, panty liner, a sanitary napkin, an incontinence protection or the like, having in this order a liquid-permeable coversheet, optionally at least one further layer of a web or foam material, optionally an absorbent layer, and a liquid-impermeable coversheet, characterized in that at least one part of this absorbent article has a polymer that is hydrophilic when dry, but shows a reduced hydrophilicity upon wetting; and to the corresponding liquid-permeable or -impermeable coversheet and web or foam material.

Absorbent article comprising a contraphilic polymer

A superabsorbent polymer composite including superabsorbent polymers and cellulosic nanofibrils having a diameter equal to or less than 100 nm. The composite may be in the form of particles or a foam. Methods for producing the composite and absorbent articles including the superabsorbent polymer composite are also provided.

Superabsorbent polymer composite comprising a superabsorbent polymer and cellulosic nanofibrils

A fiber, film or foam includes a plasticizer and a charged claylinked gel (A). The charged claylinked gel (A) includes clay nanoparticles (C) which are crosslinked by a charged polymer (A') such that any particular clay nanoparticle is linked to at least one other clay nanoparticle by the charged polymer (A&#x2032;). Methods for producing the fibers, film and foam are also provided.

Claylinked polymer gels in new physical forms, methods for their formation and uses thereof

An absorbent article such as a diaper, panty diaper, panty liner, sanitary napkin or incontinence device, wherein at least one part of the absorbent article carries a film having at least one monomolecular layer of a polymer having a functional group and an active agent, in particular to an absorbent article wherein the film is obtainable by layer-by-layer deposition of at least a first polymer having a first functional group and a second polymer having a second functional group capable of interacting with the first functional group. Moreover, the use of a film obtainable by the layer-by-layer deposition of at least one first polymer having a first functional group and a second polymer having a second functional group capable of interacting with the first functional group for releasing an active agent contained in the film upon wetting of the film by body fluids. Preferably the first polymer having a first functional group is a polycationic polymer and the second polymer having a second functional group is a polyanionic polymer.

Absorbent article comprising a thin film including an active agent

Absorbent structure in an absorbent article such as a diaper, pant diaper, incontinence guard, sanitary napkin, wound dressing, bed protection etc. and comprising a compressed foam material () which expands upon wetting, at which the foam material () comprises at least two integrated layers () having different mean pore sizes.

Absorbent structure in an absorbent article and a method of producing it

An absorbent article such as a diaper, panty diaper, panty liner, sanitary napkin or incontinence protection, wherein at least one part of this absorbent article has a pattern of at least one hydrophilic and at least one hydrophobic region wherein the at least one hydrophilic region and/or the at least one hydrophobic region are present as a coating on the part of the absorbent article. The coated part is preferably a liquid-permeable topsheet.

Absorbent article comprising hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions

A fibrous structure testable in a series of run-off tests, wherein each run-off test includes exposing the fibrous structure to a volume of a test solution and the fibrous structure initially is hydrophobic and has been treated to be hydrophilic, wherein the fibrous structure exhibits a run-off level that is less than 5 percent by weight throughout a series of run-off tests, and wherein the series starts with a first run-off test and ends with a fifth run-off test.

Fibrous structure and absorbent article comprising said fibrous structure

An absorbent porous structure for use in a diaper, a pant diaper, an incontinence guard, a sanitary napkin or the like, with a liquid acquisition portion and a liquid storage portion which are an integrated unit. The liquid acquisition portion comprises a compressed polymeric open-cell foam which expands upon wetting, and the liquid storage portion comprises a polymeric open-cell foam which may be the same or different from the foam in the liquid acquisition portion. The liquid storage portion also contains a superabsorbent material, with the amount of superabsorbent material being lower in the part of the liquid storage portion that is located closest to the liquid acquisition portion than in the part of the liquid storage portion that is located furthest from the liquid acquisition portion. Other embodiments include a method for producing the absorbent structure and an absorbent article containing such an absorbent structure.

Absorbent structure in an absorbent article

The invention refers to an absorbent structure in an absorbent article such as a diaper, a pant diaper, an incontinence guard, a sanitary napkin etc., the absorbent structure comprises an open-cell foam structure, the pore walls of said foam structure comprising a liquid-storing material having the capacity to store more than 7% synthetic urine defined according to the CRC method. The absorbent structure is characterized by that the pores of the foam structure contains hydrophilic fibers, at which at least the main part of the hydrophilic fibers are firmly anchored in the pore walls of the foam structure, and that the fiber amount is at least 10% by weight of the total weight of the open-cell foam in dry condition. The invention also refers to an absorbent article containing such an absorbent structure.
