Embodiment Construction

[0026] As used herein, the term "bicomponent fiber" refers to a fiber of at least two different polymers extruded from separate extruders but spun together to form one fiber. Bicomponent fibers are also sometimes referred to as conjugate fibers or multicomponent fibers. The polymers are arranged in distinct regions of substantially constant positioning across the cross-section of the bicomponent fiber and extend continuously along the length of the bicomponent fiber. For example, the configuration of such bicomponent fibers may be a sheath / core arrangement in which one polymer is surrounded by another polymer, or may be a side-by-side arrangement, a pie arrangement, or an "islands-in-the-sea" arrangement.

[0027] As used herein, the term "bicomponent fiber" refers to a fiber formed from at least two polymers extruded from the same extruder as a blend. Biconstituent fibers do not have the various polymer components arranged in distinct zones of relatively constant positioning...

Abstract

A heterogeneous mass comprising one or more enrobeable elements and one or more discrete open cell foam pieces wherein at least one of the discrete open cell foam pieces enrobes at least one of the enrobeable elements.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to absorbent structures useful in absorbent articles such as diapers, incontinence briefs, training pants, diaper retainers and liners, sanitary garments and the like. In particular, the present invention relates to an absorbent structure utilizing discrete foam blocks that encase elements within a substrate to form a heterogeneous mass. Background technique [0002] Open cell foam is used for its absorbent properties. Open cell foams include latex polymer foams, polyurethane foams, and foams produced by polymerizing emulsions. One type of open-cell foam is produced from an emulsion, which is a dispersion of one liquid in another and generally takes the form of a water-in-oil mixture containing an aqueous phase or water The phases are dispersed within a continuous oil phase that is substantially immiscible. Water-in-oil (or oil-in-water) emulsions having a high phase ratio of dispersed phase to continuous phase are know...
