Ultrathin densified cellulosic networks: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Bulkiness in absorbent materials increases logistics costs and reduces wearer comfort, which is mitigated through high-density core layering. Engineering the structural integrity of thin cores prevents fluid bypass and leakage under mechanical stress.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Ultrathin densified cellulosic networks?

Inconsistent particle size distribution

(27)evidences

Inconsistent particle morphology and surface structure lead to poor fluid retention and slow uptake rates. Achieving high-capacity fluid immobilization is critical for hygiene and industrial performance.

Inaccurate superabsorbent permeability characterization

(9)evidences

Inconsistent characterization of polymer absorption behavior under application-specific conditions. Accurate property determination prevents material failure and optimizes resource allocation in product design.

Excessive absorbent core bulk

(3)evidences

Insufficient volumetric efficiency in thin absorbent structures leads to leakage and poor retention. Increasing fluid handling capacity within reduced physical dimensions prevents product failure during use.

Inconsistent particle size distribution

(3)evidences

Inconsistent droplet formation during polymerization leads to non-uniform particle sizes. Achieving precise size control ensures predictable absorption kinetics and fluid permeability.
