[0185] The difference from Application Example 3 is that the mixture in Comparative Example 3 is used, and the other parameters are the same as those in Application Example 3.
[0186] The deodorization rate, antibacterial rate, antibacterial rate after stability test and color development effect at different pH values of the nursing pads in application examples 1 to 5 and comparative application examples 1 to 3 were tested. The results are shown in Table 1.
[0187] Deodorization rate: The test method is carried out in accordance with QB / T 2761-2006 "Determination of purification effect of indoor air purification products", and the odor sources are ammonia water (1wt%) and hydrogen sulfide solution (0.1wt%).
[0188] Bacterial inhibition rate: The test method refers to Appendix C of GB 15979-2002 "Hygienic Standard for Disposable Sanitary Products". The test strains are Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538), Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) and Candida albicans (ATCC10231).
[0189] Stability test: Place the nursing pad in a constant temperature box at 37-40℃ for 3 months, maintain relative humidity >75%, and conduct antibacterial rate test.
[0190] Color indication performance: Prepare 250 mL of buffer solutions with pH values of 2.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.18, and 11.0 respectively, and transfer 20 mL into a burette.

[0191] Table 1 Deodorization rate, antibacterial rate, antibacterial rate after stability test and color development effect at different pH values of the nursing pads in Application Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Application Examples 1 to 3
[0192]
[0193]
[0194]
[0195] Combined with the data in Application Examples 1 to 5, Comparative Application Example 1, and Table 1, the nursing pad provided by the present invention has a pH health indicator color display function, which will display different colors according to the different pH values of urine. When the pH value is ≤ 4.0, it displays red, and the stronger the acidity, the darker the color; when the pH value is 5.0, it displays orange; when the pH value is 6.0, it displays yellow; when the pH value is 7.0, it displays light green; when the pH value is 8.0, it displays blue-green; when the pH value is greater than 8.0, it displays blue, and the stronger the alkalinity, the darker the color.
[0196] Combined with the data in Application Examples 1-5, Comparative Application Example 2, and Table 1, the nursing pad provided by the present invention exhibits excellent antibacterial properties, with inhibition rates exceeding 96% against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans, demonstrating a strong antibacterial effect. Accelerated testing at 37°C maintained an inhibition rate of over 96%, consistent with pre-test results. This demonstrates that the antibacterial effect of the nursing pad provided by the present invention is maintained for at least two years at room temperature. It also effectively removes major odor components in urine, such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, effectively eliminating all urine odors. Urine is rapidly absorbed and decomposed by the microcapsules in the pad, resulting in a highly efficient deodorization process.
[0197] Combining the data in Application Examples 1 to 5, Comparative Application Example 3, and Table 1, the deodorization rate and antibacterial rate were reduced in Comparative Application Example 3, which did not add the coating wall material cyclodextrin. After the stability test, the antibacterial rate was significantly attenuated, and the antibacterial rate was less than 90%. Although the nursing pad has a color development function, the color distribution is uneven, making it difficult to identify. This shows that by adding cyclodextrin as a microcapsule wall material and using microcapsule coating technology to protect the indicator (methyl red, bromothymol blue), persimmon extract, polyhexamethylene guanidine and other ingredients, it is possible to improve stability, improve dispersibility, control release, and achieve slow and sustained release. When the nursing pad is used, it can effectively release the antibacterial and deodorizing effects, making the visual indication of urine pH value more obvious and more uniform.
[0198] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
