Abstract: Methods and kits including writable and cleanable articles, wherein in one embodiment, a method of replenishing a hydrophilic surface on a writable and cleanable article is provided. The method comprising: providing a writable and cleanable article that includes a hydrophilic overcoat that has an at least partially depleted (i.e., at least partially exhausted) hydrophilic surface; and applying a cleaning and protecting composition to at least a portion of the hydrophilic overcoat; and drying the cleaning and protecting composition to provide a dried surface having a replenished hydrophilic surface.

Abstract: Articles subject to ice formation during normal use are described. The article comprises a repellent surface such that the receding contact angle of the surface with water ranges from 90 degrees to 135 degrees. The repellent surface comprises a fluorochemical material, typically in combination with a non-fluorinated organic polymeric binder. The fluorochemical material is preferably a compound having the formula: (Rf?L?P)nA Rf is a fluorinated group; L is independently an organic divalent linking group; P is a catenary, divalent heteroatom-containing carbonyl moiety, such as —C(O)O—; A is hydrocarbon moiety; and n typically ranges from 1 to 3; also described are methods of making an article comprising providing an article subject to ice formation during normal use and providing a liquid repellent surface, as described herein, on at least a portion of the article.

Abstract: Articles and intermediates are described comprising an organic polymeric base member and a hardcoat layer disposed on the organic polymeric base member, wherein the hardcoat layer can be stretched 25-75% without cracking. A siliceous layer is disposed on the hardcoat layer. The siliceous layer has a porosity of no greater than 10% and a thickness no greater than 1 micron. In some embodiments, the article further comprises a surface layer comprising a zwitterionic compound bonded to the siliceous layer.

Abstract: Various embodiments disclosed relate to a surfacing film. The surfacing film includes a base layer. The base layer includes a thermoplastic polyurethane film comprising a reaction product of a reaction mixture of a diisocyanate, a polyester polyol having a melting temperature of at least about 30° C.; and a diol chain extender. There are many reasons to use the surfacing film including easier and more cost effective manufacturing of the surfacing film by directly extruding the base layer by mixing the reaction mixture in an extruder. Another reason to use the surfacing film is that the film has improved resistance to discoloration. Another reason to use the film is that the film shows good toughness.
