Fibrous structures and methods for making same

TL;DR: A non-woven textile may be formed from a plurality of thermoplastic polymer filaments as mentioned in this paper, with the filaments of the first region being fused to a greater degree than the filament of the second region.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Dry Burst Test Method and the Tensile Strength Test Method have been used to measure the dryness of embossed fibrous structures with a dry burst of greater than 270 g and a total dry tensile of less than 2375 g/76.2 mm.

TL;DR: A high efficiency disposable cellulosic wiper includes pulp-derived papermaking fiber, up to 75% by weight regenerated cellulose microfiber having a characteristic CSF value of less than 175 ml, the micro-fiber being selected and present in amounts such that the wiper exhibits a Laplace pore volume fraction at pore sizes less than 15 microns of at least 1.5 times that of a like wiper prepared without regeneration as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Fibrous structures having a nonwoven substrate, a scrim material and a plurality of solid additives and methods for making such fibrous structures are provided in this article, where a detailed discussion of the methods for constructing such structures is provided.

TL;DR: In this paper, an air-formed matrix of thermoplastic polymer microfibers having an average fiber diameter of less than about 10 microns, and a multiplicity of individualized wood pulp fibers disposed throughout the matrix of micro-fiber and engaging at least some of the microfiber bits to space the micro-bits apart from each other.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of producing a composite elastic material comprises stretching an elastic web to elongate it, for example, elongating a nonwoven web of meltblown elastomeric fibers, and bonding the elongated web to at least one gatherable web, such as a spunbonded polyester fiber material, under conditions which soften at least a portion of the elastic net to form the bonded composite web of elastic material.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a web material which exhibits an elastic-like behavior along at least one axis when subjected to an applied and subsequently released elongation, and the web material includes a strainable network having at least two visually distinct regions of the same material composition.

TL;DR: In this paper, a fibrous web comprising a first region and at least one discrete integral second region is defined, with the second region having at least a discontinuity exhibiting a linear orientation and defining a longitudinal axis, and a plurality of tufted fibers integral with but extending from the first region.
