Abstract
Fibrous structures that exhibit a pore volume distribution such that greater than about 50% of the total pore volume present in the fibrous structure exists in pores of radii of from about 101 μm to about 200 μm, and methods for making such fibrous structures are provided.
Claims18
A non-woven fibrous structure comprising a commingled mixture of a plurality of meltblown filaments and a plurality of solid additives, wherein the fibrous structure exhibits at least a bi-modal pore volume distribution such that greater than about 50% of the total pore volume present in the fibrous structure exists in pores of radii of from about 101 μm to about 200 μm, wherein the solid additives are randomly dispersed throughout the fibrous structure and wherein the ratio of the volume of the lesser peak of the bi-modal pore volume distribution to the volume of the greater peak of the bi-modal pore volume distribution is 0.26 or less.
