Abstract: Acquisition-distribution-layers (ADL) comprising a hydroentangled composite are provided. The hydroentangled composite includes (a) a first outer layer including a first plurality of synthetic fibers, (b) a second outer layer including a second plurality of synthetic fibers, and (c) at least one core layer including cellulose fibers comprising natural cellulose fibers, synthetic cellulose fibers, or a combination thereof, in which the at least one core layer is located directly or indirectly between the first outer layer and the second outer layer. The first plurality of synthetic fibers, the second plurality of synthetic fibers, and the cellulose fibers are physically entangled together. The hydroentangled composite further comprises a three-dimensional topography defined by a first outermost surface of the hydroentangled composite, in which the three-dimensional topography includes a plurality raised portions and a plurality of recessed portions.

Abstract: Nonwovens including a plurality of crimped continuous fibers (CCFs) that are physically entangled together, such by hydroentangling. Methods of forming a nonwoven including a plurality of physically entangled CCFs are also provided.
