Abstract

L'invention concerne des filaments filés-liés multicomposés (24), qui comprennent une âme (36) en polymère superabsorbant entourée d'une gaine de polymère thermoplastique (34) perméable aux liquides. Le polymère superabsorbant présent dans l'âme (36) des filaments absorbe les liquides qui pénètrent dans l'âme (36) par les voies de cheminement des liquides délimitées dans la gaine (34) des filaments. Les filaments filés-liés (21) conviennent pour la formation d'une âme absorbante (64) d'un article destiné à absorber les liquides, tel qu'un article hygiénique jetable (58) utilisé pour absorber des liquides organiques.
