Abstract: Abrasive products and methods of producing such products are described. The resin systems utilized are particularly suited to use in the manufacture of coated adhesive products. The coated abrasive products have a plurality of resin layers. The products have at least one layer comprised of an electron curable resin and at least one layer comprised of a heat curable resin. The products may include both electron and heat curable resins combined in a single layer.

Abstract: A composite, neutron absorbing, coated article, normally flat and thin and of comparatively light weight, suitable for installation in storage racks for spent nuclear fuel and for other neutron absorbing applications, includes a backing member, preferably of flexible material such as woven fiberglass cloth, a synthetic organic polymeric coating or a plurality of such coatings on the backing member, preferably of cured phenolic resin, such as phenol formaldehyde or trimethylolphenol formaldehyde and boron carbide particles held to the backing member by the cured coating or a plurality of such coatings. Also described is a method for the manufacture of the neutron absorbing coated article and the use of such an article.
