The first denier is larger than the second denier.

Abstract: An abrasive article is disclosed. The abrasive article has a backing substrate. The abrasive article also has a laminate joined to the backing substrate. The laminate comprises a hot melt polymer. The abrasive article also has a cured resin composition joined to the laminate opposite the backing substrate. The abrasive article also has abrasive particles joined to the cured resin composition.

Abstract: Filter assemblies are described. In particular, filter assemblies that include a filter frame, a fire resistant filter media, and a metallic layer disposed on and covering a major surface of the filter frame are described. The filter frame is rigid and includes at least one of a polymeric material, wood, or a wood pulp material. Filter assemblies described include flammable or meltable materials yet may retain structural integrity after being exposed to flame.

Abstract: A coated abrasive article (100) comprises: a backing (110) comprising polyester and having a major surface (115); a tie layer (120) directly bound to at least a portion of the major surface (115); and an abrasive layer (130) directly bound to at least a portion of the tie layer (120), the abrasive layer (130) comprising abrasive particles (160) and at least one binder resin (140). The tie layer (120) comprises an at least partially cured blend of, on a solids basis, from 50 to 99 parts by weight of at least one styrene-butadiene copolymer latex and from 1 to 50 parts by weight of at least one resorcinol-formaldehyde resin. A treated backing (110) comprising polyester having the preceding tie layer (120) directly bound thereto is also disclosed.

Abstract: Quinolinyldiamido transition metal complexes are disclosed for use in alkene polymerization to produce multimodal polyolefins.

Abstract: Embodiments relate to amino acid-based poly(ester urea)s with amino acid residues selected L-leucine, L-isoleucine, L-valine or combinations thereof. The amino acid-based poly(ester urea)S may optionally include a second amino acid residue selected from proteinogenic amino acids and non-proteinogenic amino acids. The amino acid-based poly(ester urea)s are particular useful for the preparation of vascular grafts. Due to the biocompatibility of the amino acid-based poly(ester urea)s, vascular grafts prepared from amino acid-based poly(ester urea)s with small internal diameters (i.e. less than 5 mm) may be prepared and inserted into a patient or animal, and provide a substantial decrease in the risk of failure compared to conventional polymers used in vascular grafts.
