The present disclosure provides for compositions, articles including the composition, and articles and structures having a superhydrophobic, a superoleophobic, or an omniphobic surface after disposing the composition onto a surface of the article or structure. In general, the composition includes a fluid and a plurality of composite particles having a hydrophilic core and hydrophobic agents on the surface of the hydrophilic core. The composition can be processed so that the composite particles are dispersible in water, while generating a superhydrophobic, superoleophobic, or omniphobic surface upon application.

A composition comprising at least an electron-donating color-developing organic compound, an electron-accepting compound, and a color development regulator that hampers the color development by the electron-donating color-developing organic compound and the electron-accepting compound, wherein the color development regulator is hydrophilic, and the composition can change the color thereof in the presence of water or a water-containing liquid. A coloring agent comprising the composition, which composition is retained or carried by a specified microbody and can change its color in the presence of water or a water-containing liquid, wherein the specified microbody allowing water or a water-containing liquid to come into contact with the retained or carried composition.

In surface functionalization of a surface with nano- or microparticles, a process is for functionalizing a surface of a solid support with nano- or microparticles. Polymers include polymerized amine-functionalized monomer units. The polymers are used to functionalize a solid support with nano- or microparticles. The resulting nano- or microparticles functionalized polymers includes polymerized amine-functionalized monomer units.

Novel, lubricious coatings for medical devices are disclosed. The coatings provide improved lubricity and durability and are readily applied in coating processes a low temperatures that do not deform the device. The present invention is also directed to a novel platinum catalyst for use in such coatings. The catalyst provides for rapid curing, while inhibiting cross-linking at ambient temperatures, thereby improving the production pot life of the coatings.

A coated steel sheet has a coating film on at least one side of a plated steel sheet. The coating film contains a binder resin, non-oxide ceramic particles containing V (excluding VC particles), and doped zinc oxide particles. The respective contents of the non-oxide ceramic particles containing V and the doped zinc oxide particles relative to the coating film satisfy the expressions: [(1) C.sub.Zn≥10.0, (2) C.sub.V≤0.5.Math.C.sub.Zn, (3) C.sub.V≤70−C.sub.Zn, (4) C.sub.V≥0.125.Math.C.sub.Zn, and (5) C.sub.V≥2.0], where C.sub.V represents the content (mass %) of the non-oxide ceramic particles containing V, and C.sub.Zn represents the content (mass %) of the doped zinc oxide particles. The coated steel sheet is excellent in both corrosion resistance before electrodeposition coating, and weldability.
