Absorption Rates for Materials Under Compression, 1992 Nonwovens Conference Proceedings

The recently introduced TRI technique for monitoring very rapid liquid absorption by porous materials has been modified to allow studies on specimens under compression. Both single and multiple layer structures can be evaluated for absorbency power; in the latter case, an example is given of uptake rate increasing with number of layers. A procedure for evaluating the effect of interposing a hydrophobic material between liquid and absorbent is described, which allows determination of a critical pressure for penetrating the nonabsorbing layer.
