- the absorbent article according to the first invention has a water-absorbent resin composite having a specific structure composed of fibers and a water-absorbent resin as an essential component, and further has a water-absorbent resin composite yarn containing the composite. It is characterized in that a product is used as an absorption core.
- the water-absorbent resin composite, the water-absorbent resin composite composition, and the water-absorbent article according to the first invention will be sequentially described, and among them, the production method according to the fifth invention will also be described. (Water absorbent resin composite)
- the water-absorbent resin composite contained in the absorbent article of the present invention has one substantially spherical water-absorbent resin. It contains fat particles and two or more fibers. In one or more fibers included in the composite, a part of the fiber is embedded in the water-absorbent resin particles and a part is exposed from the water-absorbent resin particles. In addition, one or more fibers contained in the composite have a part of the fibers adhered to the surface of the water-absorbent resin particles without the fibers being embedded in the water-absorbent resin particles (hereinafter, referred to as “the fibers”). This is referred to as “the water-absorbent resin composite of the present invention”).
- the essential components of the water-absorbent resin composite of the present invention include water-absorbent resin particles, fibers partially embedded in the water-absorbent resin particles, and water-absorbent resin particles that are adhered to the surface of the water-absorbent resin particles. These are three types of fibers that are not embedded in resin particles.
- the dry weight ratio between the fibers and the water-absorbent resin particles in the water-absorbent resin composite of the present invention is preferably 1: 1 to 1: 1, 0000, 0000, and 1: 1: to L: 1. It is more preferably 0,000, more preferably 1 ... 3 to 1 ... 10,000. ⁇
- the water-absorbent resin plays a role in the water-absorbent resin composite of the present invention to absorb liquids such as water, urine, and blood according to the purpose of use.
- the water absorbing resin used in the water absorbing resin composite of the present invention is substantially spherical particles.
- the term “substantially spherical” has a shape of a true sphere or an ellipsoid as a whole, and may have fine irregularities (ie, wrinkles, protrusions, depressions, etc.) on the surface. Also, voids such as pores and cracks may be present on the surface or inside. If it has an irregular and sharp cut surface like a conventional powdered water-absorbent resin, it will irritate the skin greatly, and the sharp cut surface will be damaged due to mechanical addition. The disadvantage is that grains are formed. However, the substantially spherical water-absorbing resin particles used in the present invention do not have such a drawback. It also has the advantage that it can be densely packed because it can be densely packed compared to irregular-shaped products.
- the fibers partially embedded in the water-absorbent resin serve to secure the fixability of the water-absorbent resin. These fibers also improve the fixability of the water absorbent resin before and after water absorption. In other words, the fibers that extend from the surface of the water-absorbent resin rotate the water-absorbent resin when pressed. And prevent translational movement. Some of these fibers are embedded in the water-absorbent resin and do not detach from the water-absorbent resin even after water absorption, so they can play an important role in the fixability after water absorption.
- the shape of the fiber used may be hollow or side-by-side to increase water conductivity.
- the fibers partially embedded in the water-absorbent resin are composed of hydrophilic fibers
- the fibers have an effect of increasing the water conductivity of the water-absorbent resin. That is, water can be directly introduced into the water-absorbing resin through the fibers. In order to more effectively perform this function, it is preferable to select and use fibers having high water conductivity as described later.
- the fibers partially embedded in the water-absorbent resin also have the role of ensuring the independence of each water-absorbent resin composite.
- the fibers prevent the water-absorbing resins from fusing with each other due to steric hindrance. That is, the fibers extending from the surface of the water-absorbent resin prevent the water-absorbent resins undergoing polymerization from coming into contact with each other, thereby preventing fusion of the water-absorbent resins.
- each water-absorbent resin composite maintains its independence, prevents adhesion to the reactor wall in the manufacturing and processing steps, and also secures the opening property described below.
- the fibers partially embedded in the water-absorbent resin give each of the water-absorbent composites an appropriate physical entanglement, and when multiple composites are collected and formed into a lump, they are easily reduced by their own weight. It also provides shape retention that does not fall apart. That is, the lump formed of the water-absorbent resin composite itself has shape retention even without adding free fibers or the like. Therefore, this water-absorbent resin composite has a remarkable feature that it can provide a lump having a shape-opening property while having an opening property.
- the combination of the fact that the fibers constituting the water-absorbent resin composite give a soft feel and the fact that the water-absorbent resin contained in the composite has a substantially spherical shape allows the composite to be dried even in a dry state. It is very soft when pressed, and is suitable for sanitary materials and the like.
- the fibers that are adhered to the surface of the water-absorbent resin but are not embedded in the water-absorbent resin have an effect of securing the fixability of the water-absorbent resin before water absorption. After swelling, the surface of the water-absorbent resin These fibers create gaps between the water-absorbent resins, and have the effect of securing a water flow path. In order to obtain this effect, the fibers do not necessarily have to adhere to the water-absorbing luster even after absorbing water, but it is preferable that at least the fibers are closely arranged on the surface of the water-absorbing resin. Therefore, it is advantageous that the fibers adhere to the surface of the water-absorbent resin before water absorption as in the present invention.
- fibers having a certain rigidity in order to form a gap between the water-absorbent resins and secure a water flow path. Further, in combination with the fibers embedded in the water-absorbent resin, there is also an effect of securing the fixability of the water-absorbent resin before water absorption.
- the shape of the fiber used may be hollow or side-by-side type or the like in order to enhance the diffusivity.
- the fibers that are adhered to the surface of the water-absorbent resin but are not embedded in the water-absorbent resin are composed of hydrophobic fibers, the fibers have a function of improving the diffusion of water between the water-absorbent resins. Demonstrate. Furthermore, the fibers that are adhered to the surface of the water-absorbent resin but are not embedded in the water-absorbent resin have the same effect as the above-mentioned “fibers embedded in the water-absorbent resin”. It has the effect of providing a lump having a soft touch while maintaining shape properties while maintaining openability and opening property.
- the average particle size of the water-absorbing resin particles used in the present invention is preferably 50 to 1,000 m.
- the average particle size is more preferably from 100 to 900 ⁇ , and particularly preferably from 200 to 800 / im.
- a preferable fiber used in the present invention has a fiber length of 50 to 50,000 m. It is more preferably 100 to 300,000 ⁇ m, and still more preferably 500 to 100,000.
- the particle size: fiber length ratio is preferably from 2: 1 to 1: 1,000. More preferably, the ratio is in the range of 1: 1 to 1: 500, and particularly preferably in the range of 1: 2 to 1: 100. (Composite effect of each fiber)
- the former water-absorbent resin composite having only fibers is not sufficiently effective in preventing the blocking phenomenon during water absorption.
- the latter water-absorbent resin composite having only fibers has insufficient fixability of the water-absorbent resin after water absorption. Therefore, both fibers are indispensable in order to exert the above-mentioned effects through before and after water absorption.
- the coexistence of both fibers has made it possible to ensure both the fixation of the water-absorbent resin and the water-absorbing ability, which are originally in conflict. That is, the water-absorbent resin composite has a characteristic that ensures not only a retention ability but also a water absorption ability under pressure while securing sufficient fixability not only before water absorption but also after water absorption.
- the types of the two fibers may be the same or different, and are appropriately selected for the purpose of use and the respective effects.
- One of the features of the water-absorbent resin composite of the present invention is that not only the aggregate of the composite has openability but also the water-absorbent resin composite composition containing the composite has openability. The point is that you can have. Such characteristics are ensured because each complex is substantially independent. That is, it is desired that the fibers constituting one composite do not substantially adhere to the other composite. This depends on the manufacturing conditions, It is preferable to appropriately select the fiber length of the fiber used. The spreadability can be evaluated based on the worsting of worsted and the state of breakage of the water-absorbent resin particles after worsing, as shown in the measurement method described later.
- a feature of the water-absorbent resin composite of the present invention is that not only the aggregate of the composite has shape retention, but also the water-absorbent resin composite composition containing the composite has shape retention. There is also a point that can be possessed.
- the binding fibers in the composite give each of the water-absorbing composites an appropriate physical entanglement, and when the water-absorbent resin composite composition containing the composite is formed into a lump, it is easily weighed by its own weight. Gives shape retention that does not fall apart.
- a fiber may be further added to the above-mentioned water-absorbent resin composite to produce a water-absorbent resin composite composition.
- the fibers are fibers that are not embedded or adhered to the water absorbent resin.
- This composition can be generally produced by appropriately mixing and dispersing fibers with the produced water-absorbent resin composite. Alternatively, it is also obtained by supplying, mixing, and dispersing fibers at the time of producing a water-absorbent resin composite by a method that does not substantially come into contact with the water-absorbent resin undergoing polymerization or the water-absorbent resin in the water-absorbent resin composite.
- a method that does not substantially come into contact with the water-absorbent resin undergoing polymerization or the water-absorbent resin in the water-absorbent resin composite can be
- the water-absorbent resin used in the present invention can be produced using the following polymerizable monomers and initiators.
- the type of the polymerizable monomer used does not matter as long as it gives a water-absorbing resin. It is particularly preferred to use a polymerizable monomer whose polymerization is initiated by a redox initiator. This polymerizable monomer is usually preferably water-soluble. No.
- a representative example of such a polymerizable monomer which is also preferable for use in the present invention, is an aliphatic unsaturated carboxylic acid or a salt thereof.
- unsaturated monocarboxylic acids or salts thereof such as acrylic acid or salts thereof, methacrylic acid or salts thereof; or unsaturated dicarboxylic acids such as maleic acid or salts thereof, itaconic acid or salts thereof, etc. Or salts thereof.
- an aliphatic unsaturated carboxylic acid or a salt thereof is preferable as described above. Therefore, as the aqueous solution of the polymerizable monomer, an aliphatic unsaturated carboxylic acid or a salt thereof is mainly used. An aqueous solution as a component is preferred.
- the phrase “having an aliphatic unsaturated carboxylic acid or a salt thereof as a main component” means that the aliphatic unsaturated carboxylic acid or a salt thereof is 50 mol% or more, preferably 50 mol%, based on the total amount of the polymerizable monomer. 80 moles. / 0 or more is included.
- a water-soluble salt for example, an alkali metal salt, an alkaline earth metal salt, an ammonium salt and the like are usually used.
