Zusammenfassung: | A microcavity-containing, resilient foam comprising a thermoplastic polymer; composite structures comprising such a microcavity-containing foam and a multiplicity of particles contained in such microcavities, preferably aqueous fluid absorbent particles; methods for preparation of such foam and structures; and disposable consumer articles incorporating such foams and composites. The aqueous fluid absorbent characteristics of the foam and composite structures render them useful in the fabrication of disposable consumer articles, in particular hygiene articles designed to rapidly absorb "insults" of bodily fluid thereby conducting such fluids away from contact with the skin of the wearer of the hygiene article. The useful articles include infant and children diapers, adult incontinence pants, feminine hygiene pads, pet urine-absorbent pads and mats, household cleaning pads, surgical drapery, and the like.
Una espuma elastica que contiene microcavidades, que comprende un polimero termoplastico; estructuras mixtas que comprenden dicha espuma que contiene microcavidades y una multiplicidad de particulas contenidas en dichas microcavidades, de preferencia particulas absorbentes de fluido acuoso; metodos para la preparacion de dicha espuma y dichas estructuras, y articulos de consumidor desechables que incorporan tales espumas y estructuras mixtas. Las caracteristicas absorbentes de fluido acuoso de la espuma y de las estructuras mixtas las hacen utiles en la fabricacion de articulos de consumidor desechables, en particular de articulos de higiene, destinados a absorber rapidamente "descargas" de fluido corporal, de manera que conduzcan dichos fluidos lejos de contacto con la piel del usuario del articulo de higiene. Los articulos utiles incluyen: panales para infantes y ninos, panales de incontinencia para adultos, toallas higienicas femeninas, cojines y almohadillas absorbedoras de orina de mascotas, almohadillas para limpieza domestica, juegos de cama quirurgicos, y similares. |
