Clay nanoplatelet reinforced hipe foams: Procter & GambleRecent Research Landscape

The technical lever is the integration of clay nanoplatelets into High Internal Phase Emulsion (HIPE) structures to control mechanical integrity and absorption kinetics. This creates differentiation through improved structural stability and fluid distribution in superabsorbent polymer composites.

What technical problems is Procter & Gamble addressing in Clay nanoplatelet reinforced hipe foams?

Insufficient liquid absorption capacity

(7)evidences

The keywords focus on superabsorbent polymers and HIPE foams reinforced with clay to improve fluid handling in absorbent articles. The core limitation being addressed is the inability of standard porous materials to efficiently capture and retain large volumes of liquid under pressure.

Petrochemical feedstock dependency

(3)evidences

The reliance on non-renewable fossil fuels for synthetic polymer production in absorbent hygiene products. Transitioning to renewable resources reduces the carbon footprint and environmental persistence of disposable articles.
