- FIG. 1 shows an example of an absorbent article using the absorbent sheet of the present invention as an absorbent.
- FIG. 1 shows a cross section in the thickness direction of the absorbent article.
- the absorbent article 1 includes an absorbent sheet 2.
- a liquid permeable top sheet 3 is disposed on one surface side of the absorbent sheet 2.
- On the other surface side of the absorbent sheet 2 is disposed a liquid-impermeable or water-repellent back surface sheet 4 (hereinafter collectively referred to as “liquid-impermeable”).
- the absorbent sheet 2 has a fibrous base material 5 and superabsorbent polymer particles 6 attached to its constituent fibers.
- the superabsorbent polymer particles 6 are uniformly attached in the thickness direction of the absorbent sheet 2.
- a liquid stock sheet 7 is arranged between the absorbent sheet 2 and the back sheet 4.
- the liquid stock sheet 7 is used to temporarily store the liquid that has passed through the top sheet 3 and the absorbent sheet 2.
- the liquid stock sheet 7 also has a bulky material force having a space in which liquid can be stored. Examples of such a material include a fiber sheet having a large average fiber distance and an open cell type foam sheet.
- Special it is preferable to use a fiber sheet as the liquid stock sheet 7 because the absorbent sheet 2 and the constituent material are the same, so that both are familiar and the feeling of wearing the absorbent article 1 becomes better.
- the average interfiber distance can be approximately the same as that of the absorbent sheet 2.
- the force S is preferably 100 to 1000 111, particularly 300 to 600 m.
- the basis weight and thickness of the fiber sheet are preferably selected such that the average interfiber distance is in the above range.
- the basis weight of the fiber sheet is preferably 20 to 200 gZm 2 , particularly 30 to LOOgZm 2 .
- the thickness of the fiber sheet is preferably from 0.1 to: LOmm, particularly preferably from 0.2 to: Lmm.
- the fiber sheet can be composed of a nonwoven fabric, a woven fabric, a knitted fabric, a spread tow, a spread web, or the like.
- air-through nonwoven fabric and air laid nonwoven fabric are preferably used because they have a large open structure and a bulky structure.
- the constituent fibers of the fiber sheet and the fineness thereof can be the same as those of the fibrous base material constituting the absorbent sheet 2, and the above-described explanation regarding the fibrous base material is appropriately applied to the fibrous sheet.
- the absorbent article 1 of the present embodiment is particularly excellent in the absorption of a highly viscous liquid and also excellent in the anti-return property.
- the reason is as follows.
- the absorbent sheet 2 has a bulky structure. Therefore, even if loose stool, menstrual blood, or urine with low fluidity is excreted, these easily pass through the absorbent sheet 2. Passed loose stool or the like is stored in a liquid stock sheet 7 having a temporary liquid storage function.
- the loose stool or the like stored in the liquid stock sheet 7 is absorbed and fixed by the superabsorbent polymer contained in the absorbent sheet 2 over time. As a result, the superabsorbent polymer swells and the distance between the particles 6 gradually decreases.
- the particles 6 swell before they touch each other. That is, a state similar to gel blocking occurs.
- the absorbent sheet 2 changes to a dense structure with less space than before the polymer swells.
- the loose stool or the like stored in the liquid stock sheet 7 is in a state where the surface sheet side force is blocked by the absorbent sheet 2 whose structure has been changed in this way. In other words, it will be covered from the top. For these reasons, it is difficult for the soft stool or the like absorbed through the absorbent sheet 2 to return.
- the superabsorbent polymer causes gel blocking. Although it has been banned because it causes absorption inhibition, in the absorbent article 1 of the present embodiment, it is used as a reverse hand to prevent the liquid from returning.
- Such a concept is a novel and powerful one that has been considered in the technical field of absorbent articles.
- the same ones that are usually used in the technical field can be used.
- a liquid-permeable non-woven fabric, an aperture formed in this, a perforated film, or the like can be used.
- a liquid-impermeable film, a water-repellent nonwoven fabric, a laminate of a film and a nonwoven fabric, or the like can be used.
- the liquid permeable film may have moisture permeability.
- the surface sheet 3 has a large opening, and the high-viscosity liquid can be easily moved in the thickness direction. It is preferable that the structure be made possible. From this point of view, the surface sheet 3 has an average inter-fiber distance force of 400 to 1000 ⁇ m, particularly 500 to 900 ⁇ m. In order to adjust the distance between the fibers of the top sheet 3 within a range where force is applied, for example, fibers of 5 to 20 dtex can be used by an air-through method. Further, the top sheet 2 may be perforated.
- the average inter-fiber distance and the opening size in the above-described range in the top sheet 3 are not limited to the absorbent article of the present embodiment, but also on the top sheet in the absorbent article shown in FIGS. There is application.
- FIG. 2 shows a modification of the absorbent article shown in FIG. Unlike the absorbent article shown in FIG. 1, the liquid stock sheet 7 is not arranged in the absorbent article 1 shown in the figure. Further, the absorbent sheet 2 has no superabsorbent polymer particles 6 distributed over the entire thickness direction. When viewed in the thickness direction of the absorbent sheet 2 in the present embodiment, the highly absorbent polymer particles 6 are unevenly distributed on the side of the top sheet 3 and attached to the side of the back sheet 4. The amount of absorbent polymer particles 6 attached is relatively low. In Fig. 2, the absorbent sheet 2 has a superabsorbent polymer near the back sheet 4. A state in which almost no particles are present is shown. As a result, a liquid stock layer 8 is formed near the back sheet 4 in the absorbent sheet 2.
- the liquid stock layer 8 in the present embodiment has the same function as the liquid stock sheet 7 in the absorbent article shown in FIG. Therefore, the absorbent article 1 of the present embodiment is also excellent in absorbing high-viscosity liquids and excellent in both strength and liquid return prevention properties, like the absorbent article shown in FIG. Since the mechanism is the same as that of the absorbent article shown in Fig. 1, its explanation is omitted here.
- one surface of the fibrous base material is preferentially Polymerization may be performed by attaching a liquid substance containing a polymerizable monomer or a polymerization product thereof.
- An absorbent article 1 shown in FIG. 3 is an absorbent article shown in FIG. 2 in which an absorbent core 9 containing pulp is disposed between the absorbent sheet 2 and the back sheet 4.
- the absorbent core 9 is constituted by a laminated body of flap pulp 10 and superabsorbent polymer particles 11 wrapped in absorbent paper 12 such as tissue paper.
- the absorbent core 9 has substantially the same configuration as that of the absorbent body used in conventional absorbent articles.
- the absorbent article 1 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 the liquid absorption capacity is higher than that of the absorbent article of the embodiment shown in FIGS. Therefore, the absorbent article 1 of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3 is particularly suitable as an absorbent article used for absorbing and holding a large amount of liquid, for example, a disposable diaper.
- this embodiment corresponds to a modification of the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, but instead, it is between the liquid stock sheet 7 and the back sheet 4 in the absorbent article of the embodiment shown in FIG. Even if the absorption core 9 is arranged, the same effect can be obtained.
- the absorbent article of the embodiment shown in FIG. 4 is common in that an absorbent sheet is used in the same manner as the absorbent articles described so far, the basic configuration of the absorbent sheet is different.
- the absorbent sheet 2 in the absorbent article 1 of the present embodiment has the superabsorbent polymer particles 6 unevenly attached to the side of the back sheet 4 and attached to the top sheet 3.
- the amount of superabsorbent polymer particles on the side is relatively low.
- FIG. 4 shows a state in which almost no superabsorbent polymer particles are present near the surface sheet 3 in the absorbent sheet 2. According to it, the absorbent sheet A gap layer 13 is formed near the surface sheet 3 in FIG.
- An absorbent core 9 is disposed between the absorbent sheet 2 and the back sheet 4 in the same manner as the absorbent article of the embodiment shown in FIG.
- the absorbent core 9 is configured such that a stack of fluff norp 10 and superabsorbent polymer particles 11 is wrapped in absorbent paper 12 such as tissue paper.
- the absorbent article 1 of the present embodiment is particularly excellent in absorbing high viscosity liquid due to the absorbent sheet 2 having a bulky structure.
- the reason for this is the same as that described in detail for the absorbent article of the embodiment shown in FIG.
- the absorbent article 1 of the present embodiment is also excellent in liquid return prevention.
- the reason is as follows. Loose fluid excrement such as loose stool, menstrual blood, or vaginal discharge S When excreted, they pass through the void layer 13 in the absorbent sheet 2. Since the void layer 13 is a space having a large average inter-fiber distance, the liquid hardly flows in the void layer 13 and flows downward. The liquid then reaches the site where the superabsorbent polymer is present.
- the excreta When the excreta is a fluid with high fluidity such as urine, it passes through the entire absorbent sheet 2 and reaches the absorbent core 9 where it is absorbed.
- loose stool, menstrual blood, and vaginal discharge are not easily absorbed by the absorbent core 9. This is because the absorbent core 9 generally has a small opening. Accordingly, loose stool or the like stays at the site where the superabsorbent polymer exists in the absorbent sheet 2 and is absorbed by the superabsorbent polymer at the site.
