ABSTRACT:
A novel absorbent structure is disclosed in which an initially flat, dense structure becomes a three-dimensional, high bulk, channeled structure upon wetting. The structure offers unusually high directionality in fluid transport to improve the distribution of fluid in longitudinal articles. The self-bulking of the wetted article can also lead to improved fit in articles such as diapers and in general increases the void volume of the wetted article for high absorbent capacity.
