Abstract: Stabilized substantially fluid-impervious microencapsulated delivery vehicles comprising an active agent are disclosed. The microencapsulated delivery vehicles have improved rupture force strength. In one embodiment, the microencapsulated delivery vehicles are heat delivery vehicles capable of generating heat upon activation. The microencapsulated heat delivery vehicles may be introduced into wet wipes such that, upon activation, the wet wipe solution is warmed resulting in a warm sensation on a user's skin. Any number of other active ingredients, such as cooling agents and biocides, can also be incorporated into a microencapsulated delivery vehicle.

Abstract: A stretchable absorbent article comprises a stretchable backsheet and an absorbent core that is at least partially enveloped by a stretchable core wrap. The absorbent core has a quantity of superabsorbent materials contained within a matrix of polymer fibers. The stretchable core wrap has a mean flow pore diameter of less than about 41 microns. The stretchable article may additionally have a stretchable bodyside liner as well as other stretchable components. The stretchable absorbent article can provide greater performance as well as greater comfort and confidence among the user.

Abstract: The present invention provides a crimped multicomponent fiber containing at least two polymer components arranged in a crimpable configuration in distinct zones or segments across the cross-section of the fiber wherein one component comprises a dielectrically susceptible material. The invention also provides methods for producing the crimped multicomponent fibers and for forming web materials containing the crimped multicomponent fibers, and provides absorbent articles comprising the crimped multicomponent fibers and web materials.
