Abstract

An abrasive article can include a body including a bond material, abrasive particles contained in the bond material, and an impact modifier. In an embodiment, the impact modifier can be in a content of at least 1 vol % of and at most 10 vol % for a total volume of the body. In another embodiment, the impact modifier can include particles having an average particle size (D 50 ) of at least 10 microns, a particle size D 10 of at least 2 microns, a particles size D 90 of at most 2 mm or any combination thereof.

Claims (30)

1. An abrasive article comprising:

a body including:

a bond material;

abrasive particles contained within the bond material; and

an impact modifier including a plurality of particles having a core-shell structure contained in the bond material, wherein the plurality of particles comprises:

an average particle size (D 50 ) of at least 10 microns;

a particle size D 10 of at least 2 microns;

a particle size D 90 of at most 2 mm; or

any combination thereof.

2. The abrasive article of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of particles comprises the average particle size (D 50 ) of at least 10 microns and at most 900 microns.

3. The abrasive article of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of particles comprises the average particle size (D 50 ) of at least at least 60 microns and at most 800 microns.

4. The abrasive article of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of particles comprises the average particle size (D 50 ) of at least 100 microns and at most 700 microns.

5. The abrasive article of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of particles comprises the particle size D 10 of at least 5 microns and at most 600 microns.

6. The abrasive article of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of particles comprises the particle size D 90 of at least 100 microns and at most 1.5 mm.

7. The abrasive article of claim 1 , wherein a core of the core-shell structure includes an organic material.

8. The abrasive article of claim 1 , wherein a core of the core-shell structure comprises a modulus that is different from a modulus of a shell of the core-shell structure.

9. The abrasive article of claim 1 , wherein a core of the core-shell structure comprises a polymer.

10. The abrasive article of claim 9 , wherein the polymer comprises butadiene rubber, butadiene-styrene rubber, butadiene-acrylonitrile rubber, or any combination thereof.

11. The abrasive article of claim 1 , wherein a shell of the core-shell structure comprises a polymer including acrylic polymer, styrene polymer, or any combination thereof.

12. The abrasive article of claim 1 , wherein the impact modifier comprises a polymer including methyl methacrylate-butadiene-styrene polymer, acrylic-butadiene-styrene polymer, or a combination thereof.

13. The abrasive article of claim 1 , wherein the body comprises a ratio of MOR to EMOD of greater than 5.7.

14. The abrasive article of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of particles comprise:

an average particle size (D 50 ) of at least 50 microns;

a particle size D 10 of at least 2 microns; and

a particles size D 90 of at most 2 mm.

15. The abrasive article of claim 1 , wherein the impact modifier has a Yang's modulus less than a Yang's modulus of the bond material.

16. The abrasive article of claim 1 , comprising the impact modifier in a content of at least 1 vol % of and at most 10 vol % for a total volume of the body.

17. The abrasive article of claim 16 , wherein the impact modifier is in a content of at least 1 vol % and at most 5 vol % for a total volume of the body.

18. The abrasive article of claim 16 , wherein the body comprises a ratio of MOR to EMOD of greater than 5.7.

19. The abrasive article of claim 16 , wherein the average particle size (D 50 ) is at least 50 microns and at most 900 microns.
