Abstract: La présente invention concerne un article absorbant (10). Ledit article comprend une feuille supérieure (12), une âme absorbante (16) et une couche d'acquisition/répartition (15) située entre la feuille supérieure et l'âme. La feuille supérieure présente une affinité pour l'eau et est par conséquent hydrophile, pas hydrophobe. La couche d'acquisition/répartition est plus hydrophile que la couche supérieure, créant ainsi un gradient d'énergie de surface entre la feuille supérieure et la couche d'acquisition/répartition. La feuille supérieure est de préférence un film formé mais peut être non tissée. La couche d'acquisition/répartition est de préférence un film formé de type à volume de vide élevé mais peut être un film formé classique. L'affinité pour l'eau de la feuille supérieure ou de la couche d'acquisition/répartition peut être obtenue à l'aide de surfactants, d'un traitement corona, d'une sélection de matières ou d'une combinaison de ces derniers.
