Abstract:

(EN)A disposable absorbent article has a nanofabricated attachment means having adhesive hairs disposed on a substrate wherein the hairs are effective to adhesively engage an opposing surface having a polymeric film or a fibrous web. In another embodiment, the absorbent article has a gecko-like fastener including a substrate and a plurality of adhesive hairs arising from the substrate having a base section, midsection, and top section, a height of about 0.5 microns to about 8 millimeters, and a diameter greater than about 0.05 microns.
(FR)L'invention concerne un article absorbant jetable qui comprend un moyen d'attache de fabrication nanométrique présentant des poils adhésifs disposés sur un substrat, les poils entrant en contact par adhérence de manière efficace avec une surface opposée qui comporte un film polymère ou une bande fibreuse. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, l'article absorbant comprend un élément d'attache de type gecko qui comporte un substrat et une pluralité de poils adhésifs disposés sur le substrat, lesdits poils comprenant une section inférieure, une section intermédiaire, et une section supérieure, une hauteur comprise entre environ 0,5 microns et environ 8 millimètres, et un diamètre supérieur à environ 0,05 microns.
