ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is an absorbent composition comprising a hydrogel-forming polymeric material and fiber bundles, wherein the absorbent composition exhibits desired absorbent properties. The absorbent composition is suitable for use in absorbent structures and disposable absorbent products. The absorbent composition comprises a hydrogel-forming polymeric material in an amount of from about 5 to about 95 weight percent, and fiber bundles in an amount of from about 5 to about 95 weight percent; wherein all weight percents are based upon the total weight of the hydrogel-forming polymeric material and the fiber bundles in the absorbent composition; and wherein the absorbent composition exhibits an Absorbency Under Load value that is at least about 10 percent greater than the Absorbency Under Load value exhibited by an otherwise substantially identical absorbent composition that does not comprise the fiber bundles.
