摘要:
A polishing pad is provided which is comprised of vertically oriented hollow fibers. Such pads can be produced by electrostatically flocking fibers onto a substrate.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a poromeric article of manufacture comprising a felt sheet of fibers impregnated with microporous elastomer having a work surface, side surfaces joining the work surface and a support surface joining the side surfaces, wherein a majority of the fibers are oriented primarily transverse to the work surface such that the majority of fiber ends adjacent to the work surface form an angle of between about 45.degree. and about 135.degree. with respect to the work surface, and preferably, wherein the fibers have a uni-directional orientation substantially perpendicular to the work surface. The present invention also includes a plurality of such articles bonded together and oriented such that the work surfaces of adjacent articles are substantially coplanar to form a laminated article of manufacture. Further, processes for making the basic and laminated articles are set forth as other aspects of the invention.
