MULTICOMPONENT SUPERABSORBENT FIBERS

摘要

Multicomponent superabsorbent fibers are disclosed. The multicomponent fibers comprise at least one acidic water-absorbing resin and at least one basic water-absorbing resin. Each fiber contains at least one microdomain of the acidic resin in contact with, or in close proximity to, at least one microdomain of the basic resin. Blends of multicomponent superabsorbent fibers with particles of a second water-absorbing resin also are disclosed. Articles containing the multicomponent superabsorbent fibers also are disclosed.
