Abstract:
Abrasive articles comprising precisely shaped particles are disclosed. The particles are bonded together to form a shaped mass, e. g. , a wheel; alternatively, the particles can be bonded to a backing to form a coated abrasive article; or the particles can be bonded into a fibrous, nonwoven substrate to form a non-woven abrasive article.
