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.

A method of making a coated abrasive article includes: depositing precisely-shaped abrasive platelets into precisely-shaped cavities in a production tool; depositing diluent abrasive particles onto the production tool; contacting the precisely-shaped abrasive platelets and the diluent abrasive particles with a curable make layer precursor disposed on a major surface of a backing; separating the tool from the precisely-shaped abrasive platelets and the diluent abrasive particles; and at least partially curing the curable make layer precursor to provide an at least partially cured make layer precursor. Coated abrasive articles preparable by the method are also disclosed.

A method of making a coated abrasive article is disclosed. A backing has first and second opposed major surfaces. A make layer precursor is disposed on at least a portion of the first major surface. Magnetizable abrasive particles are disposed onto the make layer precursor while under the influence of an applied magnetic field. At least a majority the magnetizable abrasive particles extend away from the make layer precursor in an orientation substantially aligned with the applied magnetic field. Non-magnetizable particles are then disposed onto the make layer precursor while under the influence of the applied magnetic field. At least some of the non-magnetizable particles are disposed between the magnetizable abrasive particles. Then, the make layer precursor is at least partially cured to provide a make layer.

A bonded abrasive article includes elongate shaped abrasive particles. The elongate shaped abrasive particles comprise an elongate shaped ceramic body having opposed first and second ends joined to each other by at least two longitudinal sidewalls. At least one of the at least two longitudinal sidewalls is concave along its length. At least one of the first and second ends is a fractured surface.
