2. Description of the Related Art Polymers having water absorbency are becoming popular as a material for sanitary goods and the like, and in recent years, the water absorbency has been increased to a so-called tens to hundreds of times its own weight. Ultra-super absorbent polymers have also been developed. In this way, when it comes to an ultra-super absorbent polymer that has a water absorption capacity of several hundred times its own weight, its applications are not limited to conventional sanitary materials, but also civil engineering fields, medical fields, agricultural and horticultural fields, food packaging fields, new functions. Many application fields such as materials field can be considered.

However, current superabsorbent polymers are difficult to mold into free shapes and are often used in granular form. For this reason, even if the application to a new use is considered as described above, the processing is often an obstacle when actually applied.

On the other hand, if the shape is fibrous, the superabsorbent polymer can be used uniformly and mixed with other materials by using the technique of woven or knitted fabric, and the subsequent molding process is easy. Therefore, the shape of the material is convenient. However, the super absorbent polymer has extremely low strength,
If it is made into fibers, it is possible to obtain only yarns that cannot withstand general use by themselves. For this reason, JP-A-58-3114
In Japanese Patent Publication No. 9 and the like, it is described that a super absorbent polymer and a strong polymer are used in combination using a composite spinning technique. However, if the ratio of the highly water-absorbing polymer is decreased, the water-absorbing ability is unavoidably decreased, which has been an obstacle to application to new applications.

However, the above-mentioned conventional techniques have the following problems. That is, when a highly water-absorbent fiber having a water absorption capacity of several hundred times its own weight is used, the fiber swells and its volume increases when water is absorbed. Furthermore, such superabsorbent fibers generally have low strength.

Therefore, as disclosed in JP-A-3-97948 and JP-A-3-45769, the structure of the non-woven fabric is strengthened by using the heat fusion fiber. If the structure of the non-woven fabric is fixed only by the fusion-bonded fibers, it is difficult to absorb the volume expansion, and the water absorption amount cannot be practically increased.

Further, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-80236,
It is disclosed that the intermediate layer is reinforced by using the heat fusion fiber in the upper and lower layers instead of using the heat fusion fiber, and the intermediate layer is used in combination with the highly crimped fiber in order to enhance the cushioning property.
Even if the middle layer can absorb the volume expansion of the super absorbent fiber, the upper and lower layers cannot absorb the volume expansion of the super absorbent fiber, so that the water absorption cannot be increased.

On the other hand, the composite fiber staple (c) and the heat-bonding fiber staple (b) were mixed to produce a mixed web in the same manner. Next, both nonwoven fabrics were overlapped and subjected to dry heat treatment at 140 ° C. under free tension to fuse the heat-sealing fibers, and the both nonwoven fabrics were integrated, and then embossed at 130 ° C. to partially bond them. The results are shown in Table 1.

Example 3 The highly water-absorbent fiber staple (a) of Example 1 and the heat-bonding fiber staple (Belcombi 4080 made by Kanebo) (b) were used.
A water absorbent nonwoven fabric was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 by mixing cotton in a weight ratio of 0:20. On the other hand, a polyurethane elastic filament is adhered by self-fusing to have an elongation of 400%, a melt blown nonwoven fabric (Espansion made by Kanebo) having a stress of 100 g / cm at 100% elongation, and the water absorbent nonwoven fabric are laminated, Partially adhered by a welder machine.
