Development of Microfibril Absorbent Substantial for Hygiene Products using Compostable Agro-Residuals

Abstract

: An absorbent core structure is revealed for acquiring and absorbing aqueous-based liquids in hygiene products. The core is made of fiber pulp for wicking and absorbing an aqueous-based liquid and retaining the liquid against moderate pressure. Non-wood based regenerated cellulose fibers are an attractive alternative for cotton and wood pulp. The bast fibres and grass fibers are converted to pulp for its applicability as high absorbency, biodegradability and dissolute compost ability need for healthcare products. Enhancing the moisture transport and storage of the liquid by the delignified fibrils made serves more when compared to other natural fibers. The fibers are delignified by kraft pulping process for its strength, bulk, porosity and other functional advantages. Absorbent core properties from two different fiber pulps were investigated pertained good result. Fiber dimension and morphology were evaluated through SEM analysis and free swell test.
