Abstract: Absorbent structures and methods of forming absorbent structures are disclosed. An absorbent structure may comprise a body side liner (28), an outer cover (26), and an absorbent structure. The absorbent structure may comprise a top material, a bottom material, a lofty nonwoven reinforcing material between the top material and the bottom material, and an absorbent layer of superabsorbent particles (318) and adhesive filaments (316) between the top material and the lofty nonwoven.

Abstract: Absorbent structures and methods of manufacture are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of manufacturing may comprise, directing a stream of particles toward a layer, spraying the stream with a first adhesive, the first adhesive contacting the stream at a first contact point, spraying the stream with a second adhesive, the second adhesive contacting the stream at a second contact point, the first contact point being different from the second contact point, depositing the intermixed particles, first adhesive, and second adhesive onto the layer, and covering the mixture of the particles, the first adhesive, and the second adhesive with a second layer.

Abstract: Absorbent structures and methods of manufacture are disclosed. In one embodiment, an absorbent structure may comprise a first layer, a second layer, and a mixture of particles and adhesive disposed therebetween, the superabsorbent particles being disposed at greater than 400 gsm and less than 600 gsm, and the adhesive being disposed at greater than 4% and less than 5%, by weight, of the weight of the superabsorbent particles. The adhesive may form a three-dimensional mesh network comprising network adhesive filaments with the superabsorbent particles immobilized within the mesh network, and the network adhesive filaments extending substantially throughout a three-dimensional space defined by the network adhesive filaments and the superabsorbent particles, and wherein the absorbent structure has a SAM Capture Value greater than or equal to 98, according to the SAM Capture Test Method.
