Articles, such as sanitary tissue products, including fibrous structures, and more particularly articles including fibrous structures having a plurality of fibrous elements wherein the article exhibits differential cellulose content throughout the thickness of the article and methods for making same are provided.

A tissue compression cuff comprises a first fastening portion defining one or more openings and at least one band. The at least one band comprises a first end extending from the first fastening portion at a first end, and an opposing second end, the at least one band defining a first diameter at the first end and a second diameter at the second end. The first diameter is larger than the second diameter. A second fastening portion is positioned at the opposing second end of the at least one band. The second end of the at least one band is configured to be inserted through the one or more openings of the first fastening portion. The tissue compression cuff is sized and configured to reduce blood flow through an arteriovenous fistula and made from an electrospun textile made up of biocompatible nanofibers.

Described herein is a continuous process for modifying the properties of polyester and polyester based fibers, such as a poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) fiber, comprising subjecting the PBT fiber to alkaline hydrolysis, and optionally further comprising functionalizing the PBT fiber by solution grafting such as fluorination. The alkaline hydrolysis and optionally subsequent functionalization such as fluorination process can be continuous, following the melt blowing/spinning or spun-bonding process. Also described is a nonwoven PBT fiber mat obtained by the surface modification process. Further described is a filtration device comprising the nonwoven PBT fiber mat.

The present disclosure is directed to a fibrous construct having an ester substrate, a first web comprising a plurality of first water soluble fibers and a perhydrolase and a second web comprising a plurality of second water soluble fibers and an oxidizing agent. The perhydrolase is encapsulated in the first water soluble fibers and is present in an amount from 0.1 to 40 wt % based on the total weight of the first web. The oxidizing agent is encapsulated in the second water soluble fibers and the first water soluble fibers and the second water soluble fibers are solution spun water soluble fibers. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, hydrogen peroxide is the oxidizing agent and is complexed on to at least a portion of the second web where the second web comprise a plurality of polyvinyl pyrrolidone fibers or copolymers thereof.

This non-woven fabric comprises the following configuration. In this non-woven fabric for a liquid-permeable sheet of an absorbent article, said non-woven fabric comprising a thickness direction, a planar direction, a first face, and a second face: the non-woven fabric includes thermoplastic resin fibers, and cellulosic fibers, at least a portion whereof configures a plurality of fiber masses; the non-woven fabric further comprises a plurality of spaces which are adjacent to first regions of each of the plurality of fiber masses, said first regions facing the first face; and each of the plurality of fiber masses is not bonded to the thermoplastic resin fibers.

An object of the present invention is to provide a thermoplastic fiber sheet that can be pressure bonded even at low temperatures and can prevent an event of a decrease in operational reliability of electronic components and electronic materials after pressure bonding.

Provided is a thermoplastic fiber sheet composed of at least cellulosic fibers and thermoplastic resin fibers having a softening temperature of 100 to 140 C., in which the weight ratio of the cellulosic fibers to the thermoplastic resin fibers (the cellulosic fibers:the thermoplastic resin fibers) is 4:6 to 2:8, and the porosity is 20 to 70%.

A wipe includes a cleansing composition disposed on a cloth. A package includes a sealed container that contains at least one wipe. The package can include one or more materials with a low moisture vapor transmission rate to attenuate evaporation of components of a wipe during storage of the package at elevated temperatures. A package can be made by disposing a container, or a material used to form a container, around at least one wipe and then sealing the container or the material with the wipe therein. A method of disinfecting skin can include opening a package, removing a wipe, and applying the wipe to skin.

The provided articles and methods use a non-woven fibrous web containing 60-100 wt % of oxidized polyacrylonitrile fibers; and 0-40 wt % of reinforcing fibers having outer surfaces comprised of a polymer with a melting temperature of from 100 C. to 300 C. The non-woven fibrous web has an average bulk density of from 15 kg/m.sup.3 to 50 kg/m.sup.3, with the plurality of fibers substantially entangled along directions perpendicular to a major surface of the non-woven fibrous web. Optionally, the oxidized polyacrylonitrile fibers can have a crimped configuration. Advantageously, these articles can display a combination of low thermal conductivity, high tensile strength, and flame resistance.
