Embossed multilayer substrate geometry: Procter & GambleRecent Research Landscape

The physical architecture of the dryer sheet is engineered through specific embossment orientation and layering. This controls the mechanical entrapment of airborne fibers during the drying cycle.

What technical problems is Procter & Gamble addressing in Embossed multilayer substrate geometry?

Fabric surface friction and stiffness

(15)evidences

Textile fibers naturally become harsh or static-prone after washing and drying cycles. Reducing these mechanical limitations improves tactile comfort and material longevity.

Inefficient active ingredient delivery

(10)evidences

The keywords focus on delivery particles and rosin materials used to stabilize or transport treatment compositions. This addresses the limitation of active substances degrading or washing away before reaching the target substrate.

Inadequate active ingredient release

(9)evidences

Standard liquid softeners often suffer from premature dilution or poor deposition during the wash cycle. Improving the carrier system ensures active ingredients survive the wash environment to effectively treat fibers.

Inconsistent fabric care delivery

(9)evidences

Standard laundry additives often suffer from uneven distribution or premature dissolution during the wash cycle. Ensuring uniform release of fabric care agents from particulate forms improves treatment efficacy and consumer experience.
