Abstract:
The blood absorbence properties, e.g., free swell blood absorbence capacity and after load blood absorbence capacity of superabsorbent materials is enhanced by combining the superabsorbent materials with enhancing agents which serve to enhance the blood absorbent properties thereof. The enhancing agents can be applied to the superabsorbent materials or they can be provided on a fibrous material to be combined with the superabsorbent materials. The enhancing agents are selected from materials that include functionalities that allow them to hydrogen bond to the superabsorbent material when the enhancing agent is applied directly thereto or combined with materials to which the enhancing agents have been applied.
Abstract:
Discontinuous fibers are coated with binder and solid particulate materials are adhered to the fibers by the binder. The fibers are typically substantially continuously coated with the binder. The binder material may be heat bondable and the treated fibers may be mixed with other fibers for use in producting a wide variety of structures and products.
Abstract:
An insulating board (110) having at least one ply (113) containing an expanded light weight resilient particulate filler material (115) evenly dispersed throughout its structure can be manufactured by forming that ply from a slurry having 2 to 5 percent pulp fibers based on the total weight of the slurry. The filler material is dispersed throughout the slurry for that ply prior to forming the slurry into a web for that ply. It can be formed with additional plies of standard normal density fiber material. The board can be formed into cups (150), plates (170) or containers (160) for holding food or beverages.
Abstract:
Des fibres discontinues sont enrobées d'un liant et des matières particulaires solides sont collées aux fibres par ledit liant. Les fibres sont typiquement enrobées de liant en continu. La matière liante peut être liée à chaud et les fibres traitées peuvent être mélangées à d'autres fibres destinées à être utilisées dans la production d'une large variété de structures et de produits.
