individualized crosslinked cellulosic fibers with poly (acrylic acid).

Degraded FIBER ARE PRESENTED individualized MAKING A FIBER PROCESS AND SOME TALES absorbent structures containing the fibers. Degraded INDIVIDUALIZED HAVE THE FIBER POLYMERIC a polyacrylic acid degrading agent that has been reacted with the fibers in the form of Degraded UNIONS INTERNAL FIBERS. Preferably, the crosslinking agent is a copolymer of acrylic acid and maleic acid and preferably between 1% and 10.0% of the weight of the binding agent REACTS WITH FIBER CROSS individualized form Degraded UNIONS FIBERS INTERIORS. Degraded INDIVIDUALIZED FIBERS ARE USEFUL IN A VARIETY OF APPLICATIONS absorbent structures. Additionally, absorbent structures may contain a hydrogel TRAINING MATERIAL.
