Abstract

Fibrous structures that exhibit a Geometric Mean Elongation of greater than 12.5% as measured according to the Elongation Test Method are provided.

Claims (19)

1. A fibrous structure comprising an embossed, throughdried, fibrous structure ply, wherein the fibrous structure exhibits a Geometric Mean Elongation of greater than 12.5% but less than 14.9% as measured according to the Elongation Test Method and a Geometric Mean Tangent Modulus of greater than 1000 g/cm at 15 g/cm as measured according to the Modulus Test Method.

2. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure exhibits a Dry Burst of greater than 360 g as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method.

3. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure exhibits a Geometric Mean Tangent Modulus of greater than about 1015 g/cm at 15g/cm as measured according to the Modulus Test Method.

4. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure comprises cellulosic pulp fibers.

5. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure comprises an uncreped fibrous structure.

6. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure exhibits a basis weight of greater than 15 gsm to about 120 gsm as measured according to the Basis Weight Test Method.

7. The fibrous structure according to claim 1 wherein the fibrous structure is a sanitary tissue product.

8. The fibrous structure according to claim 7 wherein the sanitary tissue product is in roll form.

9. The fibrous structure according to claim 7 wherein the sanitary tissue product comprises more than two plies.

10. The fibrous structure according to claim 7 wherein the sanitary tissue product is an absorbent towel.

11. A multi-ply fibrous structure comprising an embossed, throughdried, fibrous structure ply, wherein the multi-ply fibrous structure exhibits a Geometric Mean Elongation of greater than 12.5% as measured according to the Elongation Test Method, a Geometric Mean Tangent Modulus of greater than 1000 g/cm at 15 g/cm as measured according to the Modulus Test Method, and a Dry Burst of greater than 360 g as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method.

12. The multi-ply fibrous structure according to claim 11 wherein the multi-ply fibrous structure exhibits a Geometric Mean Tangent Modulus of greater than about 1015 g/cm at 15g/cm as measured according to the Modulus Test Method.

13. The multi-ply fibrous structure according to claim 11 wherein the multi-ply fibrous structure comprises cellulosic pulp fibers.

14. The multi-ply fibrous structure according to claim 11 wherein the multi-ply fibrous structure comprises an uncreped fibrous structure.

15. The multi-ply fibrous structure according to claim 11 wherein the multi-ply fibrous structure exhibits a basis weight of greater than 15 gsm to about 120 gsm as measured according to the Basis Weight Test Method.

16. The multi-ply fibrous structure according to claim 11 wherein the multi-ply fibrous structure is a sanitary tissue product.

17. The multi-ply fibrous structure according to claim 16 wherein the sanitary tissue product is in roll form.

18. The multi-ply fibrous structure according to claim 17 wherein the sanitary tissue product comprises more than two plies.

19. The multi-ply fibrous structure according to claim 17 wherein the sanitary tissue product is an absorbent towel.
