This invention relates to an absorbent structure, preferably containing superabsorbent polymer in an absorbent layer, and in particular, to a structure with a centrally located fluid-impermeable patch which redirects an insulting fluid around it in a manner to increase the overall containment efficiency of the structure. The absorbent structure of this invention is suitable for use in various absorbent articles and absorbent devices, such as, for example, disposable diapers, sanitary napkins, incontinent devices and garments, and training garments. The invention also relates to methods to determine the location of moisture within an absorbent structure and to study fluid flow and absorption of aqueous fluid by absorbent structures in real time. |
