This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18198307 titled 'ABSORBENT ARTICLE
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a disposable absorbent article, such as a diaper or sanitary napkin, with a topsheet, backsheet, and absorbent core structure. - The absorbent core structure consists of an upper nonwoven layer, a lower nonwoven layer, and an inner core layer. - The inner core layer contains a combination of cellulosic fibers and superabsorbent particles. - The absorbent article has specific properties, including a CD Dry Bending Stiffness between 10 N mm and 30 N mm, and a 5Cycle Wet % Recovery between 29% and 40%. - The CD Dry Bending Stiffness is measured using the Wet and Dry CD and MD 3 Point Bend Method, while the 5Cycle Wet % Recovery is measured using the Wet and Dry Bunched Compression Method.
Original Abstract Submitted
A disposable absorbent article having a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core structure disposed between the topsheet and backsheet. The absorbent core structure includes an upper nonwoven layer comprising polymer fibers; a lower nonwoven layer comprising polymer fibers; and an inner core layer disposed between the upper and lower nonwoven layers. The inner core layer may include from about 50% to about 85% cellulosic fibers, by weight of the inner core layer, and from about 15% to about 50% superabsorbent particles, by weight of the inner core layer. The absorbent article may have a CD Dry Bending Stiffness between about 10 N mmto about 30 N·mmas measured according to the Wet and Dry CD and MD 3 Point Bend Method and a 5Cycle Wet % Recovery of between about 29% and about 40% as measured according to the Wet and Dry Bunched Compression Method.
