The disclosure relates to omniphobic coatings, related articles including such coatings, and related method for forming such coatings or articles, for example biobased and/or biodegradable omniphobic coatings with high barrier properties. The omniphobic coating includes an oleophobic and hydrophilic first layer, and a hydrophobic and optionally oleophilic second layer adjacent to the first layer. A corresponding omniphobic coated article can include the omniphobic coating on a substrate such as a porous cellulosic or paper substrate, for example to provide a water- and oil/fat/grease-resistant coating for a paper-based product. The first layer of the omniphobic coating is adjacent to the substrate and the second layer is adjacent to the first layer at a position further from the substrate than the first layer. The omniphobic coating can be applied to a substrate in a layer-by-layer process, and the coated article can be recycled by extraction to remove the coating and recover the substrate material, for example in a re-pulping process.

Nonwoven (and film) topsheet and acquisition/distribution materials treated with a hydrophilic, synthetic surfactant-free finish, absorbent articles for infant or incontinence care that contain these materials, and methods for apply such finishes and/or making such absorbent articles.

The present disclosure provides biologically-based ink compositions, methods of making the biologically-based ink composition, as well as articles, objects, devices, and/or apparatuses fabricated from or that comprise the biologically-based ink compositions. The biologically-based ink composition can include a silk fibroin solution having a concentration of silk fibroin between 0.1 wt % and 10 wt %, as well as a thickening agent and a humectant dispersed throughout the silk fibroin solution. The biologically-based ink compositions may be used to functionalize a substrate to fabricate sensors, non-toxic conductive inks/textiles, microfluidic channels, technical apparel or fashion accessories, functionalized furniture, tensile canopies, architectural wall paper, facade components, or may be patterned on a substrate to encapsulate scents, flavors, dyes and pigments, therapeutic agents, or biologically active molecules.

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) driven protein-based underwater adhesive coatings are made from a dimeric protein comprising a marine adhesive protein (MAP) domain and a liquid-liquid phase separation-mediating low complexity (LC) domain.

A method for coating a surface of a cell culture article includes dissolving a polymer having a covalently attached polypeptide in an aqueous solution to produce a polymer solution. The polymer is formed from monomers selected to form a polymer having a linear backbone, wherein the polymer is crosslink free. The weight percentage of the polypeptide relative to the polymer conjugated to the polypeptide is sufficiently high to render the polymer conjugated to the polypeptide water soluble. The aqueous solution is substantially free of organic solvents. The method further includes (i) disposing the polymer solution on the surface of the cell culture article to produce a coated article; and (ii) subjecting the coated article to sufficient heat or electromagnetic radiation to attach the polymer conjugated to a polypeptide to the surface of the cell culture article.
