    Abstract: In a method of measuring parameters of superabsorbents, the absorption capacity of superabsorbents is determined under pressure, by reducing the pressure applied to a sample of the superabsorbent stepwise and determining the absorption capacity at each pressure. In addition, the rise in absorption capacity after a reduction in pressure is measured as a function of time and this is used to calculate the swelling constant k or the characteristic swelling time τ. Swelling constant or characteristic swelling time or the magnitude of the difference in absorption capacity at two different pressures are used to determine further parameters of the superabsorbent.

    Abstract: A fluid-absorbent article includes an upper liquid-pervious layer (A), a lower liquid-impervious layer (B), a fluid-absorbent core (C) between (A) and (B) including at least 60% by weight of non-surface postcrosslinked fluid-absorbent polymer particles and not more than 40% by weight of fibrous material, based on the sum of non-surface postcrosslinked fluid-absorbent polymer particles and fibrous material. An acquisition-distribution layer (D) between (A) and (C) includes at least 90% by weight of synthetic fibers and not more than 10% by weight of cellulose based fibers, based on the sum of synthetic fibers and cellulose based fibers. The basis weight of the acquisition-distribution layer (D) is at least 70 gsm. The fluid-absorbent polymer particles have a saline flow conductivity (SFC) of less than 5×10−7 cm3s/g and an AUHL of less than 15 g/g. Preferably the acquisition-distribution layer (D) is a non-woven web including a three dimensional network of fibers.
