PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent body that can strike a balance between further thinning of an absorbent body and improvement in fixing property of a water-absorbing polymer material on the absorbent body and hard-to-break property of the absorbent body.SOLUTION: In an absorbent body, a water-absorbing composite body having a joint substrate containing a thermofusion resin component at a surface of a water-absorbing polymer material is fixed to a fiber on a substrate nonwoven fabric via the joint substrate.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】吸収体の更なる薄型化と、吸収体における吸水性ポリマー材の固定性及び吸収体の壊れにくさの向上と、を両立することができる吸収体を提供する。【解決手段】吸水性ポリマー材の表面に熱溶融性の樹脂成分を含む接合基部を有する液吸収性複合材が、前記接合基部を介して基材不織布上の繊維に固着されている吸収体。【選択図】図1
