Extensible nonwoven fiber architecture: Procter & GambleRecent Research Landscape

The mechanical elongation properties of nonwoven polymer webs are engineered through fiber orientation and bonding patterns. This enables high-strain performance in absorbent hygiene products without structural failure.

What technical problems is Procter & Gamble addressing in Extensible nonwoven fiber architecture?

Insufficient substrate extensibility

(21)evidences

Standard nonwoven materials often lack the necessary stretch and recovery properties required for high-performance absorbent articles. Addressing this limitation allows for better fit, comfort, and structural integrity during dynamic use.

Insufficient fluid intake rate

(19)evidences

Standard nonwoven webs often lack the permeability required for rapid liquid acquisition in absorbent hygiene products. Enhancing porosity through aperturing prevents surface runoff and improves skin dryness.
