Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for abrasive delivery (AD) polishing pads and manufacturing methods thereof. In one embodiment, a method of forming a polishing article includes forming a sub-polishing element from a first curable resin precursor composition and forming a plurality of polishing elements extending from the sub-polishing element. Forming the plurality of polishing elements includes forming a continuous polymer phase from a second curable resin precursor composition and forming a plurality of discontinuous abrasive delivery features disposed within the continuous polymer phase. The sub-polishing element is formed by dispensing a first plurality of droplets of the first curable resin precursor composition. The plurality polishing elements are formed by dispensing a second plurality of droplets of the second curable resin precursor composition. In some embodiments, the discontinuous abrasive delivery features comprise a water soluble material having abrasive particles interspersed therein.

An abrasive composition including a substrate with perforations. The perforations may have curved edges and different shapes. Abrasive particles to be braised to the substrate are sprinkled over the molten braise on the surface of the substrate, including on the curved edges of the perforations. The perforations provide a view of the work surface for the user and reduce noise, and also provide places for work surface debris to collect for later removal. The shape of the substrate itself may include particular surface areas intended for specific abrasion tasks, such as flat surfaces with different grades of abrasive particles and small radius edges for use as a cutting tool.
