This coated metal sheet for exterior covering has a metal sheet and a top coating layer disposed on the metal sheet, the top coating layer is configured from a fluororesin and contains a gloss control agent comprising 0.01-15 vol % of microporous particles and a matte agent comprising primary particles, and the coated metal sheet satisfies the belowmentioned formulae. In the number-based particle size distribution of the gloss control agent and the matte agent, R is the number average particle size (m) of the gloss control agent, D1.sub.97.5 and D2.sub.97.5 represent the 97.5% particle size (m) of the gloss control agent and the matte agent, Ru is the upper limit particle size (m) of the gloss control agent, and T is the top coating layer thickness (m).

A robust and self-healing coating has been developed by incorporating a thermally self-healing chemical coating on smooth and/or roughened solid. When the chemically coated solid is combined with a lubricating fluid, the material system is capable to repel a broad range of liquids and solids. The thermally self-healing chemical coating may be applied on various industrial metals, glass and plastics, and has shown exceptionally physical and chemical robustness as compared to state-of-the-art liquid-repellent coatings.

The present disclosure relates to a heat transfer tube comprising nanostructures formed on the surface, and a method for manufacturing the same, and by forming nanostructures on a heat transfer tube surface, a superhydrophobic surface may be obtained under a high temperature environment as well. In addition, superhydrophobicity may be enhanced by further forming a hydrophobic coating layer on the nanostructure-formed heat transfer tube surface. By using a method of forming nanostructures by dipping the heat transfer tube surface, complex shapes may be coated, and therefore, a plurality of assembled heat transfer tubes may be coated, and damages occurring during a process of assembling the heat transfer tube after coating may be prevented.

A method of making pigments, such as special effect pigment includes forming a first slurry including a substrate, a polymer precursor, and a radical initiator; forming a solution including an emulsifier; and combining the first slurry and the solution so that the substrate is encapsulated by a first coating. Special effect pigments formed by the method are also disclosed.

A display device includes a display panel that displays images, a window layer disposed on the display panel, and a protective film disposed on the window layer, and including a base layer facing the window layer, a hard coating layer disposed on the base layer, and a refractive layer disposed on the hard coating layer and including an organic compound including difluorocarbene (CF.sub.2) and trifluoromethyl group (CF.sub.3).
