Abstract: Particles are bound to fibrous material by a polymeric binder selected from the group consisting of poly(caprolactone) diol, polyamides and polyamines. The polymeric binder has a hydrogen bonding functionality or coordinate covalent bond forming functionality on each repeating unit of the polymeric binder. As a specific example, the fibrous material is cellulosic fibers and the particles are superabsorbent particles. Preferably 3-80 percent binder and 0.05-80 percent particles, by weight of the total weight of the fibrous material, binder and particles are included. The binder preferably has a molecular weight greater than 500 grams/mole, preferably 4,000-8,000 grams/mole. Particles attached to the fibers in this manner are firmly adhered and are not easily dislodged. Fibrous products produced by this method include fibers to which particles are bound, and fibers which have been treated with the binder but to which particles are not bound.

Abstract: Binder is applied to fibers during the production of a web on a wet laid sheet manufacturing line. Particles are bound to fibrous material by a binder that has a volatility less than water, wherein the binder has a functional group capable of forming a hydrogen bond with the fibers, and a functional group that is capable of forming a hydrogen bond or a coordinate covalent bond with the particles. The binder may be activated or reactivated by addition of heat, liquid, or mechanical energy such that fibers treated with binder may be shipped to a distribution point before particles are bound to the fibers. The binder may be a polymeric binder selected from the group consisting of polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, polyacrylic acid, polyamides and polyamines, and in which the polymeric binder has a hydrogen bonding functionality or coordinate covalent bond forming functionality on each repeating unit of the polymeric binder. Alternatively, the binder may be a non-polymeric organic binder that includes a functionality such as a carboxylic acid, an alcohol, an amino acid, an amide, and an amine, wherein there are at least two such functionalities on the molecule, which may be the same or different functionality. Particles attached to the fibers in this manner are firmly adhered and are not easily dislodged. Fibrous products produced by this method include fibers to which particles are bound and may also include other fibers.

Abstract: Absorbent article such as disposable diapers, incontinent briefs, diaper holders and the like, that have a unique elastic waist feature that improves the dynamic fit of the elasticized waistband as well as the containment characteristics of the absorbent article. The elastic waist feature preferably comprises an interconnecting panel zone, a first flexural hinge zone joining the interconnecting panel zone with the containment assembly, an elasticized waistband, and a second flexural hinge zone joining the elasticized waistband with the interconnecting panel zone. The elasticized waistband comprises a shaping panel zone; a waistline panel zone; and a predisposed, resilient, waistband flexural hinge zone joining the shaping panel zone and the waistline panel zone. The waistband flexural hinge zone is predisposed to allow the panel zones to flexurally bend about a defined axis or zone and is resilient to provide a restoring force/moment that returns the panel zones to their preceeding in-use configuration, especially when the elasticized waistband has been pretensioned by a closure system. The closure system dynamically creates/maintains lateral tension through the elasticized waistband thereby allowing the elasticized waistband to more dynamically expand and contract with the motions of the wearer. The absorbent article additionally preferably comprises a pair of elasticized side panels disposed in the second waist region. The elasticized side panels preferably comprise a "zero strain" stretch laminate and an extension panel. The present invention also relates to alternative waist features comprising "an expansive tummy panel" elasticized waistband.

Abstract translation: 吸收性物品，例如一次性尿布，失禁内裤，尿布保持器等，其具有独特的弹性腰部特征，其改善了弹性腰带的动态配合以及吸收制品的容纳特性。 弹性腰部特征优选地包括互连面板区域，将互连面板区域与容纳组件连接的第一弯曲铰链区域，弹性化腰带以及将弹性化腰带与互连面板区域连接的第二弯曲铰链区域。 弹性腰带包括成形板区; 腰围面板区; 以及连接成形板区域和腰围区域区域的易变形的，弹性的腰带弯曲铰链区域。 腰带弯曲铰链区易于使面板区域围绕限定的轴线或区域弯曲弯曲并具有弹性，以提供将面板区域返回到其先前使用的配置的恢复力/时刻，特别是当弹性化腰带具有 被封闭系统所预兆。 闭合系统通过弹性化腰带动态地产生/保持横向张力，从而允许弹性化腰带与穿着者的运动更加动态地膨胀和收缩。 吸收性物品另外优选地包括设置在第二腰部区域中的一对弹性化侧片。 弹性化侧板优选地包括“零应变”拉伸层压板和延伸板。 本发明还涉及包括“膨胀性腹板”弹性化腰带的替代腰部特征。

Abstract: The blood absorbence properties, e.g., free swell blood absorbence capacity and after load blood absorbence capacity of superabsorbent materials is enhanced by combining the superabsorbent materials with enhancing agents which serve to enhance the blood absorbent properties thereof. The enhancing agents can be applied to the superabsorbent materials or they can be provided on a fibrous material to be combined with the superabsorbent materials. The enhancing agents are selected from materials that include functionalities that allow them to hydrogen bond to the superabsorbent material when the enhancing agent is applied directly thereto or combined with materials to which the enhancing agents have been applied.
