Abstract:
A porous absorbent material that comprises a water-insoluble, water-swellable absorbent polymer. The absorbent material comprises a polyether and/or a polycation bonded to the absorbent polymer whereby the contact angle of blood on a surface of the absorbent material attains from about 0 degree to about 40 degrees. Because of the improved wettability with liquids as well as the porous structure, the absorbent material can provide higher absorbent characteristics with liquids, in particular with blood.
Abstract:
An absorbent member comprising at least one region which comprises an absorbent material in a concentration of from about 60 to 100 % by weight. The absorbent material has an improved physical property after swelling and comprises a mixture of (1) a plurality of absorbent gelling particles comprising a water-insoluble, water-swellable polymer, and (2) an absorbent property modification polymer reactive with at least one component included in a urine. When a urine is applied to the absorbent member, the absorbent gelling particles are spontaneously connective through the absorbent property modification polymer. The absorbent material has at least one of the improved absorbent properties after swelling such as (1) liquid permeability, (2) porosity, (3) wet integrity, and (4) recovery property when subjected to external forces.
Abstract:
An absorbent material that comprises a water-insoluble, water-swellable absorbent polymer. The absorbent material comprises a reactive polyether chemically bonded to the absorbent polymer whereby the contact angle of blood on a surface of the absorbent material attains from about 0 degree to about 40 degrees. Because of the improved wettability with liquids, the absorbent material can provide higher absorbent characteristics with liquids, in particular with blood.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to human waste collection bags for babies, children or adults to be attached to a wearer. More particularly it relates to a flange (12) for a human waste collection bag comprising an inner periphery and an outer periphery, where the flange (12) comprises slits (13) extending to said inner periphery.
