ABSORBENT MEMBER FOR ABSORBENT ARTICLES COMPRISING SWELLABLE POLYMERS OF HIGH PERMEABILITY WHICH ARE CAPABLE OF FORMING HYDROGELS

摘要

The present invention relates to absorbent members in absorbent cores for absorbent articles, which are intended to receive and retain bodily discharges such as urine. Such articles are disposable hygiene articles like baby diapers, training pants, adult incontinence articles, feminine care articles and the like. The improvement essentially is based on the recognition that replacing most or all of the cushioning fibrous absorbent material in an absorbent core by a liquid storage material capable of retaining liquid while maintaining or improving acquisition behavior is desirable as the reduction in cushioning is more than compensated by the gain in comfort. The absorbent core of the absorbent member comprises a swellable hydrogel-forming polymer comprising in combination at least one hydrophilic polymer with dendritic structure and at least one water-insoluble phosphate.
