As apparent from FIG. 11, the tri-C2L oil fatty acid glyceride is in the form of fine particles and adheres to the surface of the fiber.

- blood contains components such as blood cells and is known to have thixotropy properties, it is considered that the blood modifying agent of the present disclosure can lower the viscosity of blood in a low viscosity region. By reducing the viscosity of blood, it is thought that absorbed menstrual blood can be rapidly transferred from the top sheet to the absorber.
- Example 5 [Micrograph of blood containing blood modifier] A healthy volunteer's menstrual blood is collected on Saran wrap (trademark), and a portion of it is Panaseto 810s dispersed in 10 times mass phosphate buffered saline, and the concentration of Panaceto 810s is 1% by mass.

A photomicrograph of menstrual blood containing no blood modifying agent is shown in FIG. 12 (a), and a photomicrograph of menstrual blood containing PANACET 810s is shown in FIG. 12 (b).
- red blood cells form a lump of rhomsen, etc., but in menstrual blood containing PANACET 810s, the red blood cells are dispersed stably. I understand. Therefore, it is suggested that the blood modifying agent works to stabilize red blood cells in the blood.
- Example 6 [Surface tension of blood containing blood modifier] The surface tension of blood containing a blood modifying agent was measured by a pendant drop method using a contact angle meter Drop Master 500 manufactured by Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd. The surface tension was measured after adding a predetermined amount of blood modifying agent to sheep defibrinated blood and shaking sufficiently. The measurement is automatically performed by the device, but the density ⁇ is obtained by the following equation (see FIG. 13).
- the density ⁇ is 5 of “density test method and density / mass / volume conversion table” of JIS K 2249-1995. It was measured at the temperature shown in Table 5 below according to the vibrational density test method. For measurement, DA-505 of Kyoto Electronics Industries Ltd. was used. The results are shown in Table 5.
- the blood modifying agent has a water solubility of about 0.00 to about 0.05 g per 100 g of water at 25 ° C., but its solubility in water is very low. It can be seen that the surface tension of the blood can be reduced. By lowering the surface tension of the blood, it is considered that the absorbed blood can be rapidly transferred to the absorber without being held between the fibers of the top sheet.

以下、生理用ナプキンを例として、本発明の吸収性物品の実施形態を説明する。
図1及び図2に示すように、第1実施形態に係る生理用ナプキン1は、液体透過性のトップシート2と、液体不透過性のバックシート3と、トップシート2及びバックシート3の間に設けられた吸収体4とを備えている。
図4に示すように、生理用ナプキン1の凸状変形時、トップシート2及びバックシート3は吸収体4を挟持したまま凸状変形する。この際、トップシート2の液体被供給領域20のうち、伸張性領域21が生理用ナプキン1の幅方向へ伸張可能であるので、吸収体4は液体被供給領域20による押圧を受けにくくなる。したがって、生理用ナプキン1の変形に起因する吸収体4の過度な圧縮及びこれに伴うリウェットが防止される。
また、生理用ナプキン1が折れ曲がる角度を変化させながら変形する場合(例えば、生理用ナプキン1の着用者が体勢を変化させることにより、生理用ナプキン1の折れ曲がる角度が鋭角になったり、鈍角になったりする場合)、可撓性領域22の弾性復元力(反発力)により、トップシート2が生理用ナプキン1の変形に追従しやいので、伸張性領域21の伸張に起因するトップシート2の撓み及び撓んだシートの肌への貼り付きが防止される。
第2実施形態では、生理用ナプキン1のトップシート2の表面に血液改質剤が塗布されている。トップシート2に排出された経血は、その粘度及び表面張力が血液改質剤によって下げられるので、トップシート2から吸収体4へ速やかに移行し、吸収体4に吸収される。吸収体4の経血吸収速度の向上により、トップシート2に粘度の高い経血が残存しにくくなるので、トップシート2のべたつき感が低減し、トップシート2の表面ドライ性が向上するとともに、着用者が視覚的に不快感を覚えにくくなる。さらに、トップシート2に排出された経血の、生理用ナプキン1の幅方向側からの漏れ出しが防止される。
なお、血液改質剤の詳細について、別項目で説明する。
以下、生理用ナプキンの製造方法を例として、吸収性物品の製造方法の実施形態を説明する。
本実施形態に係る製造方法は、吸収体4を形成する工程(工程1A)と、吸収体4にトップシート2を積層する工程(工程2A)と、積層体に圧搾溝を形成する工程(工程3A)と、バックシート3を積層する工程(工程4A)と、生理用ナプキン1を切り出す工程(工程5A)と、生理用ナプキン1に血液改質剤を塗布する工程(工程6A)とを含み、図5に示す製造装置100が使用される。
機械方向MDへ回転するサクションドラム120の周面には、吸収体材料122を詰める型として凹部124が周方向に所要のピッチで形成されている。サクションドラム120が回転して凹部124が材料供給部121へ進入すると、サクション部126が凹部124に作用し、材料供給部121から供給された吸収体材料122は凹部124に真空吸引される。材料供給部121は、サクションドラム120を覆うように形成されており、材料供給部121は、吸収体材料122を空気搬送により凹部124に対して供給し、凹部124には吸収体4が形成される。凹部124に形成された吸収体4は、機械方向MDに向かって進むキャリアシート110上に転写される。
トップシート2が吸収体4に積層され、積層体262が形成される。なお、トップシート2の製造方法については後述する。
積層体262が、エンボス加工装置130の上段ロール131と下段ロール132との間を通過することにより、積層体262に圧搾溝が形成される。上段ロール131の外周の表面には、圧搾溝に対応する形状の凸部(不図示)が設けられている。下段ロール132は、外周の表面が平滑であるプレーンロールである。積層体262が、エンボス加工装置130の上段ロール131と下段ロール132との間を通過する際、積層体262が厚さ方向に圧縮され、圧搾溝5a,5bが積層体262に形成される。圧搾溝5a,5bは、トップシート2のうち、それぞれ、排泄口当接領域20a及び周囲領域20bの周縁部に形成され、圧搾溝5a,5bの形成により、排泄口当接領域20a及び周囲領域20bの周縁部は吸収体4と一体化される。
バックシートロール140から供給されたバックシート3を、圧搾溝が形成された積層体134の下側(トップシートと反対側)の面に、接着剤層Sを介して積層し、生理用ナプキン1の連続体144を形成する。
カッタ150を使用して生理用ナプキン1の連続体144を切断し、生理用ナプキン1を切り出す。
血液改質剤塗布スプレー160を使用して生理用ナプキン1の中央の領域に血液改質剤161を塗布して、トップシート2の表面に血液改質剤層を形成する。
以下、生理用ナプキン1のトップシート2の製造方法を例として、本発明の液体透過性シートの製造方法の実施形態を説明する。
本実施形態に係る製造方法は、合成樹脂フィルムシートに凹部を形成する工程(1B)と、合成樹脂フィルムシートをギア延伸する工程(2B)とを含む。
図5に示すように、ロール210から供給された合成樹脂フィルムシート212は、凹部形成ロール220を通過し、合成樹脂フィルムシート212に凹部2141が形成される(図7参照)。凹部形成ロール220は、ローレットロール221と平滑な表面を有する予熱ロール222とからなる。
延伸ギアロール230に、凹部を形成した合成樹脂フィルムシート214を通過させることによって、合成樹脂フィルムシート214のうち、トップシート2の伸張性領域21に対応する領域が折り曲げられ、蛇腹部210が形成された合成樹脂フィルムシート216が作製される。合成樹脂フィルムシート216において、蛇腹部210は、機械方向(MD)に延設され、幅方向に並設されており、幅方向に沿った断面の形状は、略U字状の曲線が組み合わせられた波状である。合成樹脂フィルムシート216において、機械方向に延びている蛇腹部210は複数箇所で途切れている。すなわち、合成樹脂フィルムシート216において、蛇腹部210は非連続に形成されており、非連続部分では、合成樹脂フィルムシート214は折り曲げられていない。この非連続部分が、トップシート2の可撓性領域22に対応する。
本発明の血液改質剤は、約0.00~約0.60のIOBと、約45℃以下の融点と、25℃の水100gに対する、約0.00~約0.05gの水溶解度とを有する血液改質剤である。

なお、水溶解度は、上述の方法に従って測定したが、100gの脱塩水に、20.0gを添加し、24時間後に溶解した試料は、「20g<」と評価し、そして100gの脱塩水に、0.05gは溶解したが、1.00gは溶解しなかった試料は、0.05~1.00gと評価した。
また、融点に関し、「<45」は、融点が45℃未満であることを意味する。
上述の手順に従って、リウェット率と、吸収体移行速度とを測定した。結果を、下記表2に示す。
各血液改質剤を含むトップシートの上に、穴の開いたアクリル板(200mm×100mm,125g,中央に、40mm×10mmの穴が開いている)を置き、上記穴から、37±1℃のウマEDTA血(ウマの血液に、凝結防止のため、エチレンジアミン四酢酸(以下、「EDTA」と称する)が添加されたもの)3gを、ピペットを用いて滴下(1回目)し、1分後、37±1℃のウマEDTA血3gを、アクリル板の穴から、ピペットで再度滴下した(2回目)。
リウェット率(%)=100×(試験後のろ紙質量-当初のろ紙質量)/6
リウェット率と、吸収体移行速度の結果を、以下の表2に示す。
◎:血液の赤さがほとんど残っておらず、血液が存在した場所と、存在していない場所の区別がつかない
○:血液の赤さが若干残っているが、血液の存在した場所と、存在していない場所の区別がつきいにくい
△:血液の赤さが若干残っており、血液が存在した場所が分かる
×:血液の赤さがそのまま残っている
結果を、併せて下記表2に示す。
動物の各種血液に関して、上述の手順に従って、リウェット率を評価した。実験に用いられた血液は、以下の通りである。
[動物種]
(1)ヒト
(2)ウマ
(3)ヒツジ
・脱繊維血:血液を採取後、ガラスビーズと共に、三角フラスコ内で約5分間撹拌したもの
・EDTA血:静脈血65mLに、12%EDTA・2K生理食塩液0.5mLを添加したもの
血清又は血漿:それぞれ、脱繊維血又はEDTA血を、室温下で、約1900Gで10分間遠心分離した後の上清
血球:血液から血清を除去し、残差をリン酸緩衝生理食塩液(PBS)で2回洗浄し、次いで除去した血清分のリン酸緩衝生理食塩液を加えたもの
結果を、下記表3に示す。
[血液保持性の評価]
血液改質剤を含むトップシートと、血液改質剤を含まないトップシートとにおける血液保持性を評価した。
(1)エアスルー不織布(ポリエステル及びポリエチレンテレフタレートから成る複合繊維、坪量:35g/m2)から形成されたトップシートの肌当接面に、トリC2L油脂肪酸グリセリドを、コントロールシームHMAガンを用いて微粒化し、坪量がおおよそ5g/m2となるように塗布する。また、比較のため、トリC2L油脂肪酸グリセリドを塗布していないものも準備する。次いで、トリC2L油脂肪酸グリセリドが塗布されているトップシートと、塗布されていないトップシートとの両方を、0.2gの大きさにカットし、セルストレイナー+トップシートの質量(a)を正確に測定する。
(3)セルストレイナーを、遠心管にセットし、スピンダウンして、余剰のウマEDTA血を取り除く。
(4)セルストレイナー+ウマEDTA血を含むトップシートの重量(b)を測定する。
(5)下式に従って、トップシート1g当たりの当初吸収量(g)を算出する。
当初吸収量=[重量(b)-重量(a)]/0.2
(6)セルストレイナーを、遠心管に再セットし、室温下、約1200Gで1分間遠心分離する。
(8)下式に従って、トップシート1g当たりの試験後吸収量(g)を算出する。
試験後吸収量=[重量(c)-重量(a)]/0.2
(9)下式に従って血液保持率(%)を算出した。
血液保持率(%)=100×試験後吸収量/当初吸収量
なお、測定は3回行い、その平均値を採用した。
結果を、下記表4に示す。
[血液改質剤を含む血液の粘性]
血液改質剤を含む血液の粘性を、Rheometric Expansion System ARES(Rheometric Scientific,Inc)を用いて測定した。ウマ脱繊維血に、パナセート810sを2質量%添加し、軽く撹拌して試料を形成し、直径50mmのパラレルプレートに試料を載せ、ギャップを100μmとし、37±0.5℃で粘度を測定した。パラレルプレートゆえ、試料に均一なせん断速度はかかっていないが、機器に表示された平均せん断速度は、10s-1であった。
血液は、血球等の成分を含み、チキソトロピーの性質を有することが知られているが、本開示の血液改質剤は、低粘度域で、血液の粘度を下げることができると考えられる。血液の粘度を下げることにより、吸収した経血を、トップシートから吸収体に速やかに移行させることができると考えられる。
[血液改質剤を含む血液の顕微鏡写真]
健常ボランティアの経血をサランラップ(商標)上に採取し、その一部に、10倍の質量のリン酸緩衝生理食塩水中に分散されたパナセート810sを、パナセート810sの濃度が1質量%となるように添加した。経血を、スライドグラスに適下し、カバーグラスをかけ、光学顕微鏡にて、赤血球の状態を観察した。血液改質剤を含まない経血の顕微鏡写真を図12(a)に、そしてパナセート810sを含む経血の顕微鏡写真を図12(b)に示す。
[血液改質剤を含む血液の表面張力]
血液改質剤を含む血液の表面張力を、協和界面科学社製接触角計 Drop Master500を用い、ペンダントドロップ法にて測定した。表面張力は、ヒツジ脱繊維血に、所定の量の血液改質剤を添加し、十分振とうした後に測定した。
測定は、機器が自動で行うが、密度γは、以下の式により求められる(図13を参照)。
g:重力定数
1/H:ds/deから求められる補正項
ρ:密度
de:最大直径
ds:滴下端よりdeだけ上がった位置での径
測定には、京都電子工業株式会社のDA-505を用いた。
結果を、表5に示す。
血液の表面張力を下げることにより、吸収した血液をトップシートの繊維間に保持せず、速やかに吸収体に移行させることができると考えられる。
