摘要：
A scrubbing article (10) including a substrate (12) and an e-beam treated texture layer (14) on a surface of the substrate (12). The substrate (12) comprises a material suitable for use as a scrubbing article. The e-beam treated texture layer (14) is a resin-based material forming a textured abrasive layer (14) on the surface of the substrate (12).
权利要求：
What is claimed is:
1. A scrubbing article comprising:
a substrate including a material selected from the group consisting of a woven, non- woven, knit, fabric, foam, film and sponge or combinations thereof;
wherein the substrate includes a surface comprising an e-beam treated texture layer.
2. The scrubbing article of claim 1, wherein the texture layer defines a pattern.
3. The scrubbing article of claim 2, wherein the pattern includes a plurality of discrete segments.
4. The scrubbing article of claim 1, wherein the texture layer extends at least 500 microns outwardly from the surface of the substrate. 5. The scrubbing article of claim 1, wherein the texture layer is characterized by the absence of a thermal and a photo-initiating component.
6. The scrubbing article of claim 1, wherein the texture layer includes a plurality of randomly distributed texturings.
7. The article of claim 1, wherein the texture layer comprises an e-beam crosslinked texture layer.
8. The article of claim 1, wherein the texture layer comprises an e-beam polymerized texture layer.
9. The scrubbing article of claim 1, further comprising:
a chemical solution absorbed into the substrate. 10. The scrubbing article of claim 1, wherein the texture layer comprises a hardness that is at least equal to a hardness of the substrate.
11. The scrubbing article of claim 1, wherein the texture layer comprises a hardness that is equal to or greater than a hardness of the substrate.
12. The scrubbing article of claim 1, wherein the article is drapable.
13. The scrubbing article of claim 1, wherein the texture layer comprises a multiplicity of ceramic microparticles.
14. A method of manufacturing a scrubbing article comprising:
transferring a resin composition onto a surface of a substrate to form an e-beam treatable texture layer on the surface and thereby form an interim scrubbing article; and treating the interim scrubbing article with e-beam radiation to form an e-beam treated texture layer on the substrate surface;
wherein the substrate comprises any of a woven, non-woven, fabric, knit, foam, film and sponge material.
15. The method of claim 14, wherein the e-beam treated texture layer comprises an e- beam crosslinked texture layer or an e-beam polymerized texture layer having a relative hardness that is at least equal to a hardness of the substrate.
16. The method of claim 14, wherein the e-beam treatable texture layer and e-beam treated texture layer each define a pattern that is substantially similar both prior to and subsequent to treating the interim scrubbing article with e-beam radiation. 17. The method of claim 14, wherein the method of manufacture is characterized by the absence of a thermal and a UV crosslinking step.
18. The method of claim 14, further comprising:
prior to the treating step, exposing the interim scrubbing article to heat to evaporate an amount of water from the e-beam treatable texture layer.
19. The method of claim 14, wherein the texture layer comprises a multiplicity of ceramic microparticles.
20. A method of forming an abrasive layer on a scrubbing article, the method comprising:
depositing an e-beam crosslinkable composition onto a surface of a substrate to form an e-beam crosslinkable printed abrasive layer; and
e-beam crosslinking the printed abrasive layer by exposing the crosslinkable printed abrasive layer to e-beam radiation to form an e-beam crosslinked printed abrasive layer;
wherein the substrate has a flexibility greater than the flexibility of the e-beam crosslinked printed abrasive layer.
