A coated abrasive article () comprises: a backing () comprising polyester and having a major surface (); a tie layer () directly bound to at least a portion of the major surface (); and an abrasive layer () directly bound to at least a portion of the tie layer (), the abrasive layer () comprising abrasive particles () and at least one binder resin (). The tie layer () 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 () comprising polyester having the preceding tie layer () directly bound thereto is also disclosed.

An article () has a polyester film backing () and a primer layer () including a carboxylated styrene butadiene copolymer crosslinked with a polyfunctional aziridine disposed on a major surface of the polyester film backing (). Another article includes a polyester backing (), a primer layer () including a carboxylated styrene butadiene copolymer crosslinked with a polyfunctional aziridine disposed on a major surface of the polyester backing (), and a phenolic layer () disposed on the primer layer () on a surface opposite the polyester backing (). The phenolic layer () can include abrasive particles (). Processes for making the articles are also described, as well as methods for abrading a workpiece and improving adhesion between a polyester film backing () and a phenolic layer () on the polyester backing ().

Articles including polyester backing and primer layer and related methods

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

Quinolinyldiamido transition metal complexes, production and use thereof

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.
