Appeal 2007-0502
Application 10/318,567
INTRODUCTION
Appellants claim an absorbent composite and a process for making an
absorbent composite (claims 1 and 48). The absorbent composite comprises
an absorbent crosslinkable binder composition comprising an alkoxysilane
functionality which, upon exposure to water, forms a silanol functional
group which condenses to form a crosslinked polymer applied to a substrate
that is folded to form a coated substrate having a plurality of panels (claim
1). The process recites applying the absorbent crosslinkable binder to a
substrate wherein the substrate is folded to provide a plurality of panels
(claim 48).
Claims 1 and 48 are illustrative:
1. An absorbent composite comprising:
a substrate; and
an absorbent crosslinkable binder composition, comprising an
alkoxysilane functionality which, upon exposure to water, forms a
silanol functional group which condenses to form a crosslinked
polymer,
wherein at least a portion of the substrate is coated with the
absorbent crosslinkable binder composition, and the substrate is
folded to provide a plurality of panels.
48. A process for making an absorbent composite comprising:
providing a substrate;
applying an absorbent crosslinkable binder composition
comprising an akloxysilane functionality which, upon exposure to
water, forms a silanol functional group which condenses to form a
crosslinked polymer to at least a portion of the substrate; and
folding the substrate upon itself to provide a plurality of panels.
