Methods of Making Bulked Absorbent Members

Номер: US20120276337A1
Автор: Jill Marlene Orr, John Brian Strube, John Joseph Curro, Keith Robert PRIESSMAN, Leroy Joseph KOCHER
Принадлежит: Procter and Gamble Co

Absorbent members, especially bulked absorbent members, and methods of making the same are disclosed. The absorbent member may be in the form of a unitary absorbent fibrous layer comprising at least some cellulose fibers. The unitary absorbent fibrous layer is at least partially stratified through its thickness. The absorbent member may also have a plurality of discrete deformations, such as depressions and/or apertures in its surfaces. The method involves subjecting a precursor web to at least one cycle (or pass) through a mechanical deformation process. The mechanical deformation process utilizes a first forming member and a second forming member that form a nip therebetween through which the precursor web is passed. The first and second forming members are moving at different speeds relative to each other when they come together to form the nip.

EXTRUDED STARCH-LIGNIN FOAMS

Номер: US20160368186A1
Автор: Stevens Eugene S.
Принадлежит:

Extruded starch foams are well known as biodegradable alternatives to foamed polystyrene packaging materials. Extruded foams of unmodified starch replacing 1% to 20% of the starch with kraft lignin were prepared. At 10% lignin, there are no deleterious effects on foam density, morphology, compressive strength, or resiliency as compared to a starch extruded foam, yet the foam retains its integrity after immersion for 24 hours in water. At 20% lignin there is a decrease in compressive strength and resiliency. Addition of cellulose fibers restore the mechanical properties but with an increase in density. 1. An expanded cellular structure , comprising a mixture of starch comprising amylose and amylopectin , and lignin , the lignin being present in a weight ratio of between 80:20 to 99:1 of the starch , the expanded cellular structure having a uniform distribution of cells throughout.2.
