  • Patent number: 6114595
    Abstract: The present invention pertains, in a preferred embodiment, to a stretchable, extensible, fluid-pervious composite web comprising an apertured, three-dimensional, macroscopically-expanded formed film layer and a fibrous layer, preferably a nonwoven, bonded to one side of the formed film layer. The composite web is microcreped in at least one direction, such that the composite web exhibits extensibility, and preferably also retractability, in that direction. The composite web exhibits fine scale nesting of the formed film layer and the nonwoven layer in the microfolds, providing intimate contact between the layers for enhanced fluid transport properties while the three-dimensionality of the formed film provides a stand-off between the layers.
