DISPOSABLE ARTICLE INCLUDING A NANOSTRUCTURE FORMING MATERIAL

摘要

A disposable treatment article or disposable cleaning article that includes a hydrophobic nanoporous material. The disposable treatment or cleaning article is configured to contact and apply the nanoporous material to a surface. The nanoporous material is configured to form hydrophobic nanostructures on a surface upon the application of an activation stimulus. The nanostructures provide an anti-contamination benefit to the surface upon which the nanostructures are disposed.

主权项

1. A disposable diaper for receiving and storing bodily exudates adapted to be worn around the lower torso of a wearer, at least a portion of the diaper adapted to provide an anti-contamination benefit to a bodily surfaces contacted by the diaper portion, the disposable diaper comprising:
a. a topsheet, a backsheet, an absorbent core disposed therebetween, a first waist region, a second waist region, and a crotch region disposed between the first and second waist regions; b. at least one carrier in liquid communication with a body contacting portion of the diaper, the carrier adapted to adhere an activatable nanostructure forming material to a surface of the body contacting portion of the diaper such that when the nanostructure forming material is contacted to a bodily surface at least a portion of the nanostructure forming material is deposited on the bodily surface; and c. one or more activatable nanostructure forming materials releasably joined to the carrier, the one or more nanostructure forming materials adapted to provide a plurality of hydrophobic nanostructures to a bodily surface when at least a portion of the nanostructure forming material is activated and deposited on the bodily surface, wherein the nanostructure forming material when activated and at least partially disposed on the bodily surface, reduces the adherence of BM to the bodily surface by at least about 10% according to the BM Anti-Stick Test.
