  • Methods for making non-continuous absorbent cores comprising a porous macrostructure of absorbent gelling particles
    Patent number: 5925299
    Abstract: A non-continuous absorbent core having a plurality of interconnected strands separated by voids. The strands comprise a porous absorbent macrostructure. The porous macrostructure has interconnected absorbent gelling particles that are surface crosslinked with cationic, preferably polymeric, amino-epichlorohydrin adducts. Upon contacting liquids such as water or body exudates (e.g., urine), the absorbent core can absorb the liquids without undesirable planer expansion. The core is useful in absorbent articles such as diapers, adult incontinence pads, and sanitary napkins are disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 24, 1997
    Date of Patent: July 20, 1999
    Assignee: The Procter & Gamble Company

  • Process of making a non-continuous absorbent composite
    Patent number: 5919411
    Abstract: A non-continuous absorbent composite having a plurality of interconnected strands separated by voids. The strands comprise a porous, absorbent macrostructure and a substrate. The porous macrostructure has interconnected absorbent gelling particles that are surface crosslinked with cationic, preferably polymeric, amino-epichlorohydrin adducts. Upon contacting liquids such as water or body exudates (e.g., urine), the absorbent composite can absorb the liquids without undesirable planer expansion. The composite is useful in absorbent articles such as diapers, adult incontinence pads, and sanitary napkins are disclosed.
