Abstract: Disposable absorbent article absorbent core for the absorption of menses or blood, having porous absorbent gelling material.

Abstract: Absorbent core for disposable absorbent articles having better recovery and resiliency.

Abstract: Absorbent core for disposable absorbent articles, particularly for the absorption of menses or blood, comprising absorbent gelling material and an inert material.

Abstract: Absorbent core for disposable absorbent articles, particularly for the absorption of menses or blood, including an absorbent polymer and a cationic polysaccharide.

Abstract: Absorbent core for disposable absorbent articles, particularly for the absorption of menses or blood.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of absorbent articles for personal hygiene. Specifically, the present invention provides a superabsorbent material having improved absorbency of complex fluids, such as body fluids like menses. Preferred absorbent articles for personal hygiene in the context of the present invention are feminine care absorbent articles.

Abstract: Absorbent core for disposable absorbent articles, particularly for the absorption of menses or blood.

Abstract: An improved material for liquid absorption including an absorbent material in particle form with a very low average particle size dispersed into a selected inert hydrophilic organic carrier which is solid at room temperature. The present invention also includes an improved process for manufacturing the material. Such liquid absorbing material can be utilized in the absorbent cores of disposable absorbent articles, such as sanitary napkins, panty liners, interlabial devices, tampons, disposable diapers, incontinence pads, wound dressings, nursing pads, and the like.

Abstract: A multicomponent material, which is comprised of chitosan material being coated onto an inert carrier material. The multicomponent material can be incorporated into an absorbent structure. In one aspect of the invention, the multicomponent material can be incorporated throughout the thickness of an absorbent structure. Absorbent articles comprising the multicomponent material are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an absorbent article with an absorbent member, said member having a film-like region comprising chitosan material, and a process for making said absorbent member.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an absorbent member comprising fine particles of chitosan material, in particular water-soluble chitosan salt, for improved fluid retention and leakage prevention, and a process for making such an absorbent member.

Abstract: The present invention relates to absorbent articles such as sanitary napkins and pantiliners and the use of backsheet constructions comprising a three dimensional formed film therein, to provide masking of the materials stored in the absorbent article when viewed through the garment facing surface of the absorbent article.

Abstract: A disposable absorbent article which is substantially flat prior to use for wearing adjacent a body discharge area, having a body facing surface and a garment facing surface. The disposable absorbent article includes a liquid pervious topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core intermediate the topsheet and backsheet. The absorbent core has a body facing surface and a garment facing surface, and has an expanding layer for expanding the article into a tridimensional structure while being worn by a user. The expanding layer includes a number of smaller expanding elements that are activated by body fluids, are decoupled from one another, and are capable of expanding substantially in only one direction upon activation by body fluids.

Abstract: A disposable absorbent article is provided which is substantially flat prior to use for wearing adjacent a body discharge area having a longitudinal centerline and a lateral centerline orthogonal thereto, and defining longitudinal and lateral directions respectively. The disposable absorbent article includes a liquid pervious top sheet, a back sheet joined to the top sheet, and an absorbent core intermediate the back sheet and the top sheet. The absorbent core includes an expanding member for expanding the article into a tridimensional structure while being worn by a user. The expanding member is activated by body fluids. The top sheet is capable of expanding as the absorbent article expands upon activation by body fluids.
