SUPERABSORBENT POLYMERS PROVIDING LONG-TERM GENERATION OF FREE VOLUME IN PARTIALLY HYDRATED ABSORBENT CORES

摘要

An absorbent composition providing unexpectedly high fluid capacity with minimal gel-blocking, articles comprising the absorbent composition and methods of preparing the absorbent composition are disclosed. The absorbent composition optionally comprises a surface crosslinked polymer disbursed within a fibrous matrix of wettable fibers. The surface crosslinked polymer has an FVAUL value of at least about 60 cc after 10 minutes.
