  • Nonwoven composite abrasive comprising diamond abrasive particles
    Patent number: 9266221
    Abstract: An abrasive article includes a support, a first polymeric binder, a second polymeric binder, and abrasive particles. The support includes a plurality of nonwoven layers. A method of forming an abrasive article includes providing a support including, applying a first coating of the first polymeric binder to the support, applying superabrasive particles to the coated support, applying a layer of a second polymeric binder overlying the superabrasive particles. The method further includes compressing the support and applying heat to cure the first polymeric binder. A method of preparing a work piece includes applying a thermal spray coating to the work piece, and polishing the thermal spray coating with the abrasive article.

  • Asymmetric braiding of improved fiber reinforced products
    Patent number: 5419231
    Abstract: Braided constructions provide reinforcement fibers in the production of various articles, particularly composites, in which the braided fibers are entrained in a resin matrix. The mechanical properties of such braided, reinforcement fibers are further enhanced by use of an "asymmetric braiding" technique in which the cross-sectional areas of the fibers employed to form the diagonally crossing braids are substantially different, materially decreasing undulations in the braids at their crossings.
