The disclosure relates to layers comprising a body having a thickness, T, comprising a curable composition comprising a polymerizable epoxy-acrylate resin composition and abrasive particles at least partially embedded in the polymerizable epoxy-acrylate resin composition, wherein the body includes a plurality of void spaces free of the curable composition extending into the body from the first major surface and the depth of the plurality of void spaces is at least 10 percent of thickness T. The disclosure also relates to cured compositions formed from such curable compositions and, in turn, abrasive articles made from such cured compositions as well as methods for making abrasive articles.

An abrasive article having a removable support sheet having a first major surface. An image layer containing inks applied over the first major surface. A polyurethane backing layer having a first major backing surface located adjacent to the image layer and a second major backing surface opposite the first major surface. A functional layer comprising an abrasive layer applied to the second major surface; the abrasive layer comprising a make coat, abrasive particles and a size coat.

Systems and methods include providing a coated abrasive article with a substrate formed from a plurality of hygroscopic fibers, an abrasive layer comprising a make coat, a size coat, a supersize coat, or combinations thereof disposed on a first side of substrate, and an anti-curl layer disposed on a second side of the substrate. The polymer-based anti-curl layer allows the coated abrasive article to achieve a change in curl between −5 millimeters and 25 millimeters, the change in curl being expressed as the curl of the coated abrasive article in millimeters at 90% relative humidity minus the curl of the coated abrasive article in millimeters at 20% relative humidity. The coated abrasive article exhibits substantially no loss of grinding performance, burst speed, or a combination thereof as compared to coated abrasive articles free of the anti-curl layer.

A grinding wheel includes an elastomerically deformable supporting layer, at least a first metallic surface fastened to the elastomerically deformable supporting layer, the metalic surface being an elastically deformable metal foil and includes abrasive particles attached to the at least one metalic surface. The particles may include at least one of: cubic boron nitride or diamonds. The metal foil may have a thickness of less than 1 mm. The abrasive particles may be bonded galvanically on the metallic surface. The abrasive particles may be bonded on the metalic surface in a plurality of areas having regions without abrasive particles therebetween. The metal foil may be adhesively bonded onto the elastomerically deformable supporting layer. The elastomerically deformable supporting layer may be plastic foam. The elastomerically deformable supporting layer may be adhesively bonded onto a metallic supporting body.

A system, formulation, and method for additive manufacturing of a polishing layer of a polishing pad. The formulation includes a urethane acrylate oligomer based on a difunctional polyol or difunctional polythiol. The techniques includes selecting the difunctional polyol or the difunctional polythiol to affect a property of the polishing layer. The formulation also includes a monomer and a photoinitiator. The viscosity of the formulation is applicable for 3D printing of the polishing layer.

An abrasive article can include a substrate, abrasive particles coupled by a bond material to the substrate, and a coating overlying at least partially the exterior surface of the bond material. The coating can be a poly(p-xylylene) polymer applied via vapor deposition and may provide enhanced strength to the bond material and extended life time to the abrasive article.

The disclosure relates to layers comprising a body having a thickness, T, comprising a curable composition comprising a polymerizable epoxy-acrylate resin composition and abrasive particles at least partially embedded in the polymerizable epoxy-acrylate resin composition, wherein the body includes a plurality of void spaces free of the curable composition extending into the body from the first major surface and the depth of the plurality of void spaces is at least 10 percent of thickness T. The disclosure also relates to cured compositions formed from such curable compositions and, in turn, abrasive articles made from such cured compositions as well as methods for making abrasive articles.

Abrasive articles, along with related compositions and methods, are provided. A first aspect relates to an abrasive article comprising a backing and an abrasive layer disposed on a major surface of the backing. The abrasive layer comprises a particulate mixture comprising formed abrasive particles and diluent abrasive particles. Based on the overall weight of the particulate mixture, about 0 wt. % to less than 10 wt. % formed abrasive particles having a substantially monodisperse particle size of from about 80 micrometers to about 120 micrometers; and about greater than 90 wt. % to about 99 wt. % diluent abrasive particles having a median particle size of from about 50 micrometers to about 250 micrometers

Provided are abrasive articles that include a plurality of layers, in the following order: a backing; an abrasive layer; and a supersize coat. The supersize coat contains a metal salt of a long-chain fatty acid and clay particles dispersed therein. Advantageously, the clay particles enhance the optical clarity of the supersize coat, allowing printed abrasive articles to be made with thicker supersize coatings. The addition of clay was also found to improve cut performance of the abrasive article relative to articles in which the clay particles are absent.
