本発明の積層体は、長手方向を有する形状の、透液性の第1シート、吸液性の中間シート、及び第2シートと、少なくとも前記第1シート及び前記中間シートの間に介在する吸水性樹脂層と、を含む積層体であって;前記中間シートが、領域A及び長手方向を有する形状の領域Bを含み;前記領域A及び前記領域Bが、下記(1)及び(2)のうち少なくとも一方の関係を満たし、且つ、下記(3)の関係を満たす、積層体:(1)前記領域Aが低密度且つ前記領域Bが高密度であり、前記領域Bの密度を1とした場合の前記領域Aの密度の比率が0.6以下である、(2)前記領域Aが前記吸水性樹脂層の側に凸となる凸部であり且つ前記領域Bが凹部であり、前記凸部の高さが0.25mm以上である、(3)前記領域Bが、前記中間シートの両短手端より内側で、両長手端間を横切るように延在し、且つ前記領域Bの延在方向両端の一方と他方とを結ぶ直線が、前記中間シートの短手方向と略平行である、ことを特徴とする。このような構造によって、本発明の積層体は、複数回の液体暴露を受けても傾斜方向漏れに対する優れた防止性を示すことが可能となる。以下、本発明の積層体について詳述する。
図1に、本発明の積層体の第1実施形態の断面図を模式的に示す。図1は、積層体をその短手方向に垂直な面で切断した場合の断面図を示している。図2に、図1の積層体の中間シートの一部分(一方の短手端側部分)の外観図を模式的に示す。図3に、図1の積層体の当該一部分の分解図を模式的に示す。図1及び図3に示す積層体10は、長手方向LDを有する形状の、透液性の第1シート20、図2に示す吸液性の中間シート30、及び第2シート40と、少なくとも第1シート20及び中間シート30の間に介在する吸水性樹脂層51と、を含む。以下において、積層体10の積層方向を「積層方向LMD10」とも記載する。なお、積層体10は、中間シート30と第2シート40との間に他の吸収性樹脂層52も含む。図示していないが、吸水性樹脂層51と中間シート30との間、及び/又は吸水性樹脂層52と第2シート40との間には、接着剤層が介在していてもよい。
図5に、本発明の積層体の第2実施形態で用いられる中間シートを、図2と同じ形式で示す。また、図6に、第2実施形態の積層体の分解図を、図3と同じ形式で示す。図6に示す積層体10aは、中間シート30が中間シート30aに変更されたことを除いて、上記の第1実施形態の積層体10と同様である。
図8に、本発明の積層体の第3実施形態で用いられる中間シート30bを、図2と同じ形式で示す。第3実施形態の積層体は、中間シート30が中間シート30bに変更されたことを除いて、上記の第1実施形態の積層体10と同様である。
図9に、本発明の積層体の第4実施形態で用いられる中間シート30cを、図2と同じ形式で示す。第3実施形態の積層体は、中間シート30が中間シート30cに変更されたことを除いて、上記の第1実施形態の積層体10と同様である。
本発明の積層体においては、領域Bが中間シートの短手端よりも内側に位置している限り、領域Bが中間シートの長手端に達しているか否かは問わない。一方、本発明の積層体は、吸収した液体を、傾斜方向とは垂直な面内方向つまり両長手端間を横切る方向へ移動させることを促すことで漏れ防止性を示す構成をとっていることから、さらに長手端LEからの漏れリスクを低減する観点で、領域Bが中間シートの長手端LEよりも内側に位置していてもよい。
領域A及び領域Bの形状は上記第1実施形態に示したものに限定されず、領域Bが中間シートの短手端よりも内側に位置するとともに、中間シート両長手端間を横切るように延在し、且つ領域Bの延在方向両端の一方と他方とを結ぶ直線が、中間シートの短手方向と略平行であれば、図4を参照して説明したように、最初に暴露された液体の吸収によって形成される凸部51Aが物理的障壁となることで、傾斜方向への優れた漏れ防止性を示すと考えられる。
本発明の積層体を構成する各構成要素の材料及び厚みとしては特に限定されず、各構成要素が上述の特徴を備えることができる材料及び厚みが適宜選択される。なお、特に特定の実施形態に言及した場合を除き、以下の内容は、上記したすべての実施形態について共通して適用することができる。
第1シートとしては、透液性であれば特に限定されない。第1シートの形態としては、厚み方向へ連通する空間又は孔を有し且つ前記空間又は孔が吸水性樹脂層を構成する吸水性樹脂を通過させない大きさであるものであれば特に限定されない。第1シートの形態の例としては、不織布、織布及び多孔質シートが挙げられる。これらの形態の中でも、数回の液体暴露に対する傾斜方向漏れ防止性をより一層高める観点から、好ましくは不織布が挙げられる。
吸水性樹脂層の材料(つまり吸水性樹脂)としては、水を吸収可能であり、且つ水を吸収することで膨潤する特性を有している樹脂、つまり、一般的に高吸水性樹脂(SAP)と呼ばれるものであれば特に限定されない。
中間シートの材料としては、吸液性である限りにおいて特に限定されない。中間シートの形態としては、少なくとも吸水性樹脂層の側に連通する空間、孔、及び/又は穴を有しているものであれば特に限定されない。中間シートの例としては、不織布、織布及び多孔質シートが挙げられる。これらの形態の中でも、数回の液体暴露に対する傾斜方向漏れ防止性をより一層高める観点から、好ましくは不織布が挙げられる。
他の吸水性樹脂層の材料としては特に限定されないが、上記の吸水性樹脂層の材料として挙げた吸水性樹脂から選択することができる。他の吸収性樹脂層に用いられる吸水性樹脂は、上記の吸水性樹脂層に用いられる吸水性樹脂と同じであってもよいし、異なっていてもよい。
第2シートとしては、透液性シート及び不透液性シートが挙げられる。透液性シートである場合の第2シートとしては、第1シートとして用いられるものから選択されるシート、及び、第1シートにおける所定の高濡れ性領域及び低濡れ性領域を備えないことを除いて第1シートと同じ形態及び材料のシートが挙げられる。
接着剤層に用いる接着性樹脂組成物としては、吸水性樹脂と中間シート及び/又は第2シートを接着可能である限りにおいて限定されず、当業者が適宜選択することができる。本発明の積層体は水系の液体を吸収するために用いられるため、好ましい接着剤組成物としては水系溶剤に対して安定なホットメルト接着剤組成物が挙げられる。
本発明の積層体の作製方法としては特に限定されないが、例えば以下の方法で製造することができる。
上記の本発明の積層体は、数回の液体暴露に対する傾斜方向への優れた漏れ防止性を示す吸収体として機能する。したがって、上記本発明の積層体は吸収性物品に有用であるため、本発明は当該積層体を含む吸収性物品も提供する。

(2-1)吸水量
吸水量の測定は、25℃±1℃に調節された室内で行った。500mL容のビーカーに、生理食塩水500gを量りとり、スターラーバー(8mmφ×30mmのリング無し)を投入した。マグネチックスターラー上にビーカーを置いて600r/minで撹拌しながら、吸水性樹脂粒子2.0gを、ママコが発生しないように分散させた。その状態で60分間放置し、吸水性樹脂粒子を十分に膨潤させた。続いてビーカー中の内容物を、目開き75μm標準篩(質量Wa[g])を用いてろ過した。篩を水平に対して約30度の傾斜角となるように傾けた状態で30分間放置することにより、篩上の膨潤ゲルから余剰の水分をろ別した。その後、篩と篩上の膨潤ゲルとの合計質量Wb[g]を測定し、下記式から吸水性樹脂粒子の生理食塩水の吸水量を算出した。結果を表1に示す。
吸水量[g/g]=(Wb-Wa)/2.0
保水量の測定は、25℃±1℃に調節された室内で行った。吸水性樹脂粒子2.0gを量り取った綿袋(メンブロード60番、横100mm×縦200mm)を内容積500mLのビーカー内に設置した。吸水性樹脂粒子の入った綿袋内に0.9質量%塩化ナトリウム水溶液(生理食塩水)500gを、ママコができないように一度に注ぎ込んだ後、綿袋の上部を輪ゴムで縛り、30分静置させることで吸水性樹脂粒子を膨潤させた。30分経過後の綿袋を、遠心力が167Gとなるように設定した脱水機(株式会社コクサン製、品番:H-122)を用いて1分間脱水した後、脱水後の膨潤ゲルを含んだ綿袋の質量Wa[g]を測定した。吸水性樹脂粒子を添加せずに同様の操作を行い、綿袋の湿潤時の空質量Wb[g]を測定し、下記式から吸水性樹脂粒子の生理食塩水の保水量を算出した。結果を表1に示す。
保水量[g/g]=(Wa-Wb)/2.0
吸水速度の測定は、25℃±1℃に調節された室内で行った。100mL容のビーカーに、生理食塩水50±0.1gを量りとり、マグネチックスターラーバー(8mmφ×30mmのリング無し)を投入し、ビーカーを恒温水槽に浸漬して、液温を25±0.2℃に調節した。次に、マグネチックスターラー上にビーカーを置いて、回転数600r/minとして、生理食塩水に渦を発生させた後、吸水性樹脂粒子2.0±0.002gを、前記ビーカーに素早く添加し、ストップウォッチを用いて、吸水性樹脂の添加後から液面の渦が収束する時点までの時間(秒)を測定し、吸水性樹脂粒子の吸水速度とした。結果を表1に示す。
JIS標準篩を、上から、目開き600μmの篩、目開き500μmの篩、目開き425μmの篩、目開き300μmの篩、目開き250μmの篩、目開き180μmの篩、目開き150μmの篩、及び、受け皿の順に組み合わせた。組み合わせた最上の篩に、吸水性樹脂粒子50gを入れ、ロータップ式振とう器を用いて10分間振とうさせて分級した。分級後、各篩上に残った粒子の質量を全量に対する質量百分率として算出し粒度分布を求めた。この粒度分布に関して粒子径の大きい方から順に篩上を積算することにより、篩の目開きと篩上に残った粒子の質量百分率の積算値との関係を対数確率紙にプロットした。確率紙上のプロットを直線で結ぶことにより、積算質量百分率50質量%に相当する粒子径を中位粒子径として得た。結果を表1に示す(SAPb、SAPd、及びSAPeの中位粒子径については上記(1)に示した通りである。)。
