Abstract:
1. An absorbent structure comprising: at least one first nonwoven meltblown lyocell fiber web; at least one second nonwoven meltblown lyocell fiber web; said first and second nonwoven meltblown lyocell fiber webs each having an upper surface, a lower surface, longitudinal edges and width edges; a superabsorbent polymer intermediate said lower surface of said first web and the upper surface of said second web; and wherein said absorbent structure has first thickness; and wherein said first and second web are conterminous, the longitudinal edges and the width edges have a second thickness less than the first thickness, and the perimeters of the lyocell webs are bonded together wherein the superabsorbent polymer is the only material between the first and second webs within the bonded perimeters.
