Absorbent structures that form superabsorbent polymers in situ. The structures include an absorbent material and a fibrous material containing an activating agent. The fibrous material releases the activating agent upon stimulation with an activator, which causes the polymer to become a superabsorbent polymer. The absorbent component is desirably a water-swellable, water-insoluble polymer. The absorbent structures form a superabsorbent composition in situ. Methods of making the activating agent containing fibrous material are provided.

1. A fibrous material comprising: fibers having an activating agent bonded or retained onto or within the fibers; and a polymer that is water-swellable and water-insoluble; wherein the fibers will release at least some of the activating agent upon stimulus with an activator and the activating agent will cause an increase in the capacity of at least some of the polymer to absorb water; further wherein the activating agent is basic and the pH of the fibers ranges from about 7.5 to 14 or wherein the activating agent is acidic and the pH of the fibers ranges from about 0 to 6.5. 2. The fibrous material of claim 1, wherein the activator is a liquid to be absorbed by the polymer. 3. The fibrous material of claim 1, wherein the fibers comprise cellulose. 4. The fibrous material of claim 1, wherein the fibers release the activating agent in a controlled manner. 5. The fibrous material of claim 4, wherein the rate of release of the activating agent from the fibers is controlled by one or more factors selected from the group consisting of the concentration of the activating agent, the nature of the activating agent, the type of interaction between the activating agent and the fibers, and the strength of the interaction between the activating agent and the fibers. 6. The fibrous material of claim 1, wherein the fibrous material has a form selected from the group consisting of a fibrous network, a batt of comminuted wood pulp fluff, a tissue layer, a hydroentangled pulp sheet, a woven sheet, a nonwoven sheet, a tow, and a mechanically softened pulp sheet. 7. The fibrous material of claim 1, wherein the fibers comprise the activating agent comprises about 5 to about 80 weight percent. 8. The fibrous material of claim 1, wherein the fibers comprise the activating agent comprises about 10 to about 50 weight percent. 9. The fibrous material of claim 1, wherein the fibers comprise the activating agent comprises about 20 to about 40 weight percent. 10. The fibrous material of claim 1, wherein the activating agent is retained on the fibers by an interaction selected from the group consisting of ionic bonds, water labile covalent bonds, encapsulation, and physical entrapment. 11. The fibrous material of claim 1, wherein the activating agent is selected from the group consisting of sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, polyamines, polyimines, polyamides, polyquatemary ammoniums, chitins, chitosans, polyasparagines, polylysines, polyarginines, aliphatic amines, aromatic amines, imines, amides, metallic oxides, hydroxides, salts, ammonia, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, polyacrylic acid, polymaleic acid, carboxymethyl cellulose, alginic acid, polyaspartic acid, polyglutamic acid, citric acid, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, inorganic acid, salts, isosaccharinic acid, tartaric acid, oxalic acid, malonic acid, glucuronic acid, and mixtures and copolymers thereof. 12. The fibrous material of claim 1, wherein the polymer is acidic and the activating agent is basic. 13. The fibrous material of claim 1, wherein the polymer is basic and the activating agent is acidic. 14. The fibrous material of claim 1, wherein the polymer comprises polyacrylic acid and the activating agent is selected from the group of sodium bicarbonate, sodium carbonate, and mixtures thereof. 15. The fibrous material of claim 1, wherein the activating agent is basic and the pH of the fibers ranges from about 7.5 to 9.0. 16. The fibrous material of claim 1, wherein the activating agent is acidic and the pH of the fibers ranges from about 4 to 6.5. 17. A disposable absorbent article that includes the fibrous material of claim 1. 18. The absorbent article of claim 17, comprising a liquid-permeable topsheet, a backsheet attached to the topsheet, and the fibrous material positioned between the topsheet and the backsheet.
