  • Absorbent article containing a porous polyolefin film
    Patent number: 11028246
    Abstract: An absorbent article containing a polyolefin film is provided. The polyolefin film is formed by a thermoplastic composition containing a continuous phase that includes a polyolefin matrix polymer and nanoinclusion additive is provided. The nanoinclusion additive is dispersed within the continuous phase as discrete nano-scale phase domains. When drawn, the nano-scale phase domains are able to interact with the matrix in a unique manner to create a network of nanopores.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 6, 2014
    Date of Patent: June 8, 2021
    Assignee: Kimberly-Clark, Inc.
    Inventors: Vasily A. Topolkaraev, Ryan J. McEneany, Antonio J. Carrillo, Mark M. Mleziva, Andy J. Meyer
  • Absorbent article containing a nonwoven web formed from a porous polyolefin fibers
    Patent number: 10240260
    Abstract: An absorbent article containing a nonwoven web that includes a plurality of polyolefin fibers is provided. The polyolefin fibers are formed by a thermoplastic composition containing a continuous phase that includes a polyolefin matrix polymer and nanoinclusion additive is provided. The nanoinclusion additive is dispersed within the continuous phase as discrete nano-scale phase domains. When drawn, the nano-scale phase domains are able to interact with the matrix in a unique manner to create a network of nanopores.
