  • Publication number: 20200283638
    Abstract: Coatable compositions for formation of ink-receptive layers, which may be aqueous suspensions, comprise a mixture of: a) 8.0-75 wt % (based on the total weight of a), b), c), and d)) of colloidal silica particles having an average particle size of 2.0-150 nm; b) 10-75 wt % of one or more polyester polymers; c) 10-75 wt % of one or more polymers selected from the group consisting of polyurethane polymers and (meth)acrylate polymers; and d) 0-10 wt % of one or more crosslinkers. Ink-receptive layers, which may exhibit high gloss and high ink anchoring are also provided, as are constructions comprising such layers. Porous solids are also provided, comprising: a) 8.0-75 wt % of colloidal silica particles having an average particle size of 2.0-150 nm; and b) one or more water dispersible polymers.

  • Publication number: 20200115804
    Abstract: A method comprises exposing a particle coating disposed on a thermally-softenable film to a modulated source of electromagnetic radiation. The particle coating comprises distinct particles that are not covalently bonded to each other, and are not retained in a binder material other than the thermally-softenable film. Articles made by the method are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20190310404
    Abstract: A method of making an infrared-reflecting optically transparent assembly comprises: coating a curable composition onto a major surface of an optically transparent thermoplastic polymer film; at least partially curing the curable composition, which may be optionally at least partially dried, to provide a thermoformable composite film; and laminating the thermoformable composite film to an infrared-reflecting multilayer optical film to provide the infrared-reflecting optically transparent assembly. The curable composition comprises urethane (meth)acrylate compound, (meth)acrylate monomer, and silicone (meth)acrylate. The infrared-reflecting optically transparent assembly and methods of including it in an infrared-reflecting lens assembly are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20170174854
    Abstract: There is provided an article having a compliant article where the compliant article comprises an polymer layer and a first layer disposed along a first major surface of the polymer layer; and a plurality of microspheres partially embedded and adhered to a major surface of the first layer opposite the surface that is disposed along the first major surface of the polymer layer, wherein the article has a compression modulus of less than or equal to 0.5 MPa. There is also provided an article having a compliant article where the compliant article comprises a polymer layer; and a plurality of microspheres partially embedded and adhered to a major surface of the compliant article, where the article has a compression modulus of less than or equal to 0.5 MPa, and further where the article is a decorative article.
