Personal care articles of commerce comprising a magnetic member

A disposable absorbent article comprising a closure system comprising at least one matched pair of thermoplastic magnetic members comprising a first thermoplastic magnetic member and a second thermoplastic magnetic member, wherein the second thermoplastic magnetic member comprises an aperture, the first and second thermoplastic magnetic members each comprising a thermoplastic material having magnetic particles dispersed therethrough, wherein said thermoplastic material comprises:

• a resin selected from the group consisting of polyolefins, thermoplastic elastomers, polyamides, polyacetals, polyethers, polyesters, polyurethanes, poly(meth)acrylates, and compatible mixtures thereof;
• and
• the magnetic particles are selected from the group consisting of magnetoplumbite-structure ferrite particles, rare-earth magnet particles, and mixtures thereof,
• wherein the thermoplastic material is present in an amount of from about 10% to about 25% and the magnetic particles are present in an amount of from about 50% to about 90%;
• wherein at least a portion of the thermoplastic material comprises a thermoplastic elastomer selected from the group consisting of styrenic block copolymers, metallocene-catalyzed polyolefins, polyesters, polyurethanes, polyether amides, and combinations thereof,
• wherein said first thermoplastic magnetic member has a magnetic polarity opposite to a magnetic polarity of the second thermoplastic magnetic member, and wherein the first thermoplastic magnetic member and the second thermoplastic magnetic member are magnetically joined and mechanically interlocked when in a mated configuration, and
• wherein the first thermoplastic magnetic member is inserted into the aperture of the second thermoplastic magnetic member when in the mated configuration.
