Bioactive coatings that are stabilized against inactivation by weathering are provided including a base associated with a chemically modified enzyme, and, optionally a first polyoxyethylene present in the base and independent of the enzyme. The coatings are optionally overlayered onto a substrate to form an active coating facilitating the removal of organic stains or organic material from food, insects, or the environment.

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.

Bioactive coatings are provided with two component solvent borne resin and an enzyme dispersed therein. The unique coatings provide for enzyme dispersion in the two component solvent borne resin in aggregates with small particle sizes of up to 5 micrometers. The coatings are optionally overlayered onto a substrate to form an active coating facilitating the removal of organic stains or organic material from food, insects, or the environment.

The polymer film serves for the embedding of a medical technology product to be implanted in a human organism. The polymer film includes a polymer of natural origin being biodegradable and absorbable by the human body. The polymer film has a polymer content. The polymer film further includes two antimicrobial active ingredients having a different mechanism of action and the polymer film has a total active-ingredient content. The ratio of the total active-ingredient content to the polymer content is at least 15%. The polymer content is greater than the total active-ingredient content. The polymer film is bendable and modulable and uninterrupted. The polymer forms a polymer matrix in which the antimicrobial active ingredients are embedded in a homogeneously distributed manner. The polymer film has, for each of the antimicrobial active ingredients, an individual active-ingredient content deviating from one another by at most 20%.
