PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sheet-like material capable of rapidly absorbing body fluid, hardly generating swelling blockage, capable of exhibiting absorption performance of a water absorbing polymer to maximum, and making absorbed body fluid hardly return when stress is applied to an absorber absorbing body fluid.SOLUTION: A sheet-like material 1 for an absorbent article includes long base parts 2, and a plurality of absorbing units 4 including an absorbing polymer 3 fixed to the surface of a non-skin facing side of the long base part 2. The sheet-like material 1 is obtained by aligning each of the absorbing units 4 so as to direct the longitudinal direction to one direction. In the long base part 2, the hydrophilicity of the non-skin facing side is higher than that of the skin facing side.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】素早く体液を吸収できると共に、膨潤阻害を発生し難く、吸水性ポリマーの吸収性能を最大限に発揮することができるシート状物を提供すること。また、体液を吸収した吸収体に圧力が掛かったとしても、吸収した体液が液戻りし難いシート状物を提供すること。【解決手段】本発明の吸収性物品用のシート状物1は、長尺状基体部2及び長尺状基体部2の非肌対向面の表面に固定された吸水性ポリマー3を備えた吸収性ユニット4を複数本具備する。シート状物1は、各吸収性ユニット4を、その縦方向が一方向を向くように配列させてなる。長尺状基体部2は、非肌対向面の親水度が肌対向面の親水度よりも高い。【選択図】図1
