摘要:
A biodegradable and flushable film is generally provided. The film can be a multi-layer film including a water-dispersible core layer that comprises a water- soluble polymer; and a water-barrier skin layer positioned adjacent to the water- dispersible core layer. The water-dispersible core layer constitutes from about 50 wt.% to about 99 wt.% of the film, while the water-barrier skin layer constitutes from about 1 wt.% to about 50 wt.% of the film. The biodegradable polymers of the water-barrier skin layer can constitute from about 80 wt.% to 100 wt.% of the polymer content in the water-barrier skin layer, with from about 10 wt.% to about 90 wt.% of the biodegradable polymers being polyalkylene carbonate and from about 10 wt.% to about 90 wt.% of the biodegradable polymers being biodegradable polyesters. The film may be used as a packaging film or as a backsheet of an absorbent article.

An absorbent article comprises a signal element having a body- facing surface, a garment- facing surface, a longitudinal direction, a transverse direction and a z- direction. The signal element includes a water-soluble polymeric buffering film and a stimulation material. The water-soluble polymeric buffering film comprises a water- soluble base polymer. In some aspects, the stimulation material comprises a temperature change agent, and the signal element exhibits a surface temperature change of at least +/- 2 °C. In some aspects, the signal element exhibits a stimulation effect over at least two aqueous insults.

A thin nanocomposite film for use in an absorbent article (e.g., sanitary napkin) is provided. The film contains a first ethylene polymer having a density of about 0.94 g/cm3 or less, second ethylene polymer having a density of greater than 0.94 g/cm3, and nanoclay having an organic surface treatment. The present inventors have discovered that through selective control over the particular type and concentration of the components used to form the film, as well as the manner in which it is formed, the properties of the film can be significantly improved.
摘要:
An absorbent binder composition is provided which is capable of spontaneous crosslinking after application to a substrate, at a temperature of about 120°C or less. The absorbent binder composition includes a monoethylenically unsaturated polymer, such as carboxylic acid, sulphonic acid, or phosphoric acid, or salts thereof, or a quarternary ammonium salt, and an acrylate or methacrylate ester that contains an alkoxysilane functionality, or a monomer capable of co-polymerization with a compound containing a trialkoxy silane functional group and subsequesnt reaction with water to form a silanol group. The absorbent binder composition is particularly suitable for use in manufacturing a wide variety of absorbent articles. A method of making the absorbent binder composition includes preparing a monomer solution, adding the monomer solution to an initiator solution which can also contain monomer, and activating a polymerization initiator within the initiator solution.A flexible absorbent binder composition is also provided which is capable of spontaneous crosslinking after application to a substrate, at a temperature of about 120°C or less. The flexible absorbent binder composition includes about 15 to about 99.8% by mass monoethylenically unsaturated polymer units, about 0.1 to about 20% by mass polyacrylate ester units having an alkoxysilane functionality, and about 0.1 to about 75% by mass of polymer units selected from polyolefin glycols and polyolefin oxides. The flexible absorbent binder composition can be prepared using a template polymerization process, with the preformed polyolefin glycol or polyolefin oxide serving as a template polymer.
摘要:
A superabsorbent composition comprising a superabsorbent material and an elastomer. The superabsorbent composition has a two-phase morphology resulting in one of the superabsorbent material and elastomer being dispersed as aggregates in the other continuous material. The superabsorbent composition has a low glass transition temperature. The low glass transition temperature gives the superabsorbent composition many beneficial properties. This invention also discloses novel superabsorbent particles, fibers, films, and microporous films. Also disclosed in this invention are personal care articles comprising such particles, fibers, films and microporous films.
摘要:
A compositional blend having from about 1 weight percent to about 85 weight percent of a modified polyolefin and from about 99 weight percent to about 15 weight percent of modified poly(ethylene oxide). The modified polyolefin and modified poly(ethylene oxide) have a total of from about 1 weight percent to about 30 weight percent of a monomer grafted thereto. Included is a method for making the blend comprising using a single pass extruder to perform the steps of melt blending the polyolefin, poly(ethylene oxide), the monomer and a sufficient amount free radical initiator to graft from about 1 percent to 100 percent of the monomer onto the polyolefin and poly(ethylene oxide).
摘要:
A thin nanocomposite film for use in an absorbent article is provided. The film contains an ethylene polymer, a nanoclay having an organic surface treatment, and a compatibilizer that includes an olefin polymer containing an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid monomer. The present inventors have discovered that through selective control over the particular type and concentration of the components used to form the film, as well as the manner in which it is formed, the modulus and tensile strength of the film can be significantly improved without having an adverse impact on its ductility.
摘要:
Sustainable film compositions and articles including recycled elastomer. The compositions comprise one or more virgin polymers. Optionally, the films may also include one or more compatibilizers having compatibility with the polymers and a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) such as a block copolymer with a hard block and a soft block. Multi- or mono-layer films are possible. The films are useful for packaging films or component films for consumer products.
