COMPOSITE FABRIC PANEL FOR DISPOSABLE ABSORBENT ARTICLES

摘要

A composite fabric panel comprising a substrate and a plurality of elongate operative members engaged directly with the substrate, wherein the elongate operative members perform a serviceable operation in response to a stimulus. In one embodiment, the substrate comprises a nonwoven and the elongate operative members include multifilament yarns. The serviceable operation performed by the elongate operative members may comprise a transformation and/or a selective dispersion of active agents in response to such stimuli as wetting, temperature change, change in pH or affects of concentrated chemical environment.
