    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to advanced polishing pads with tunable chemical, material, and structural properties, and new methods of manufacturing the same. In one or more embodiments, polishing pads with improved properties may be produced by an additive manufacturing process, such as a three-dimensional (3D) printing process. Some embodiments may provide an advanced polishing pad that has discrete features and geometries, formed from at least two different materials that include functional polymers, functional oligomers, reactive diluents, addition polymer precursor compounds, catalysts, and curing agents. For example, advanced polishing pads may be formed from a plurality of polymeric layers, by the automated sequential deposition of at least one polymer precursor composition followed by at least one curing step, where each layer may represent at least one polymer composition, and/or regions of different compositions. Embodiments can also provide polishing pads with polymeric layers that may be interpenetrating polymer networks.

    Abstract: Methods and formulations for manufacturing polishing articles used in polishing processes are provided. In one implementation, a UV curable resin precursor composition is provided. The UV curable resin precursor comprises a precursor formulation. The precursor formulation comprises a first resin precursor component that comprises a semi-crystalline radiation curable oligomeric material, wherein the semi-crystalline radiation curable oligomeric material is selected from a semi-crystalline aliphatic polyester urethane acrylate, a semi-crystalline aliphatic polycarbonate urethane acrylate, a semi-crystalline aliphatic polyether urethane acrylate, or combinations thereof. The precursor formulation further comprises a second resin precursor component that comprises a monofunctional or multifunctional acrylate monomer. The resin precursor formulation further comprises a photoinitiator, wherein the precursor formulation has a viscosity that enables the precursor formulation to be dispensed to form a portion of a polishing article by an additive manufacturing process.
