Absorbent cores comprising a core wrap which comprises a liquid permeable substrate layer, the core may contain from about 87% to about 100% of superabsorbent polymer, wherein: (i) the core comprises from about 0.5% to about 20% of an adhesive; (ii), the superabsorbent polymer is disposed in a plurality of frangible pockets in or on the liquid permeable substrate layer; or (iii) both (i) and (ii); and further, the core exhibits a material movement of about 0.2 cm or more, as measured with a Superabsorbent Material Movement Test.

An absorbent cores includes absorbent material enclosed a core wrap which comprises a liquid permeable substrate layer. The core contains from about 87% to about 100% of superabsorbent polymer and a tube-shaped swelling chamber having a length to width aspect ratio of less than or equal to about 5:1. The area of the core is at least twice the area of the swelling chamber, and the core contains a water responsive immobilizing agent to immobilize the superabsorbent polymer prior to water insult. The tube-shaped swelling chamber is a portion of the absorbent core containing superabsorbent polymer that is delimited by a plurality of continuous permanent seals that each join together overlapping portions of the core wrap and prevent superabsorbent polymer from moving across the seals.

Absorbent cores comprising a core wrap which comprises a liquid permeable substrate layer, the core containing from about 87% to about 100% of superabsorbent polymer and having a funnel-shaped swelling chamber. The area of the core is at least twice the area of the swelling chamber, and the core contains a water responsive immobilizing agent to immobilize the superabsorbent polymer prior to water insult. The funnel-shaped swelling chamber is a portion of the absorbent core containing superabsorbent polymer and delimited by continuous permanent seals. Two permanent continuous seals form first opposing funnel wall segments, wherein first opposing funnel wall segments collectively comprise a first chamber angle about 20° to about 120°, the first chamber angle being the sum of angles formed by each first opposing wall segment with respect to the longitudinal axis.

An absorbent article includes a liquid permeable topsheet, a liquid impermeable backsheet, an absorbent core being disposed between the topsheet and the backsheet, wherein the absorbent core include san absorbent material disposed in an absorbent deposition area and enclosed in a core wrap. The core further includes a swelling chamber disposed in between two external zones. The absorbent material comprises superabsorbent polymer. One or more permanent seals separate the chamber from each of the two external zones. The swelling chamber consists of absorbent material immobilized by water-responsive bonds, wherein said water-responsive bonds deteriorate upon exposure to water such that the absorbent material is flowable in the wet state; and the two external zones comprise absorbent material that is immobilized by thermoplastic adhesive, such that the absorbent material is immobilized in the wet state.

An absorption rate in an absorbent article including a cell absorber is improved. The above-mentioned problem is solved by an absorbent article including an absorber having a plurality of cells surrounded by bonded portions of an upper sheet and a lower sheet, the upper sheet and the lower sheet not bonded at the cells, and a particulate material including super absorbent polymer particles contained in the cells, in which at least one of the upper sheet and the lower sheet in the cells is formed into concaves depressed to outsides of the cells in a spread state, a middle sheet made of a nonwoven fabric is interposed between the upper sheet and the lower sheet, and the middle sheet is compressed in a thickness direction at the bonded portions and expands to insides of the concaves at portions located inside the cells.
