PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composite material for an absorbent article, in which a guest material is combined with a host material and compatibility of liquid diffusion and cushioning can be realized, and an absorbent article using the same.SOLUTION: A composite material for an absorbent article includes a host material whose surface is positively or negatively charged in a predetermined solvent and a guest material whose surface is charged into electric charges opposite to the surface of the host material in the predetermined solvent owing to electrostatic interaction, the guest material being absorbed into the host material. The host material includes a nonwoven substrate as a substrate, whereas the guest material includes, as a substrate, a plurality of hydrophilic particle substrates with an average particle diameter being less than an average fiber diameter of the nonwoven substrate or a plurality of hydrophilic fiber substrates with an average fiber diameter being less than an average fiber diameter of the nonwoven substrate. At least one of the host material and the guest material has a polymer electrolyte layer for coating the substrate.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3COPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】ゲスト材料がホスト材料に複合化されてなる、吸収性物品用の複合化材料であって、液拡散性及びクッション性の両立が実現可能である複合化材料、及び、これを用いた吸収性物品を提供すること。【解決手段】所定の溶媒中で表面が正又は負に帯電するホスト材料に対して、前記所定の溶媒中で表面が前記ホスト材料の表面と反対の電荷に帯電するゲスト材料が静電的相互作用により吸着してなる、吸収性物品用の複合化材料であって、前記ホスト材料が、基体として、不織布基体を含み、前記ゲスト材料が、基体として、前記不織布基体の平均繊維径よりも小さい平均粒子径を有する複数の親水性粒子基体又は前記不織布基体の平均繊維径よりも小さい平均繊維径を有する複数の親水性繊維基体を含み、前記ホスト材料及び前記ゲスト材料の少なくとも一方が、前記基体を被覆する高分子電解質層を有する、前記複合化材料。【選択図】図3
