Frangible fiber bond pathways: Procter & GambleRecent Research Landscape

The engineering of localized tensile strength gradients and fiber-end density along predetermined lines of weakness. This enables controlled mechanical failure for integrated disposal or structural reconfiguration of non-woven substrates.

What technical problems is Procter & Gamble addressing in Frangible fiber bond pathways?

Inflexible fastening member removal

(18)evidences

Standard absorbent articles often leave non-recyclable or sharp fastening components attached to the main chassis after use. Fully removable members allow for cleaner material separation and safer disposal of contaminated components.

Inadequate post-use containment security

(8)evidences

The keywords focus on frangible pathways and concealed fasteners for disposal. This addresses the failure of standard absorbent articles to be securely and hygienically closed after use.
