The present disclosure is directed to articles that include one or more coated fiber(s) (i.e., fiber(s) with a cured coating disposed thereon), where the coating includes a matrix of crosslinked polymers and optionally a colorant (e.g., pigment particles or dye or both). The cured coating is a product of crosslinking a coating composition including uncrosslinked polymers (e.g., a dispersion of uncrosslinked polymers in a carrier, wherein the uncrosslinked polymers are crosslinked to form the matrix of crosslinked polymers). The present disclosure is also directed to articles including the coated fibers, methods of forming the coated fibers and articles, and methods of making articles including the coated fibers.

The present disclosure is directed to articles that include a cured coating that includes a matrix of crosslinked polymers and optionally a colorant (e.g., pigment particles or dye or both). The cured coating can include a matrix of crosslinked polymers. The cured coating is a product of crosslinking a coating composition comprising uncrosslinked polymers (e.g., a dispersion of uncrosslinked polymers in a carrier to form the matrix of crosslinked polymers), wherein the uncrosslinked polymers are crosslinked to form the matrix of crosslinked polymers. The matrix of crosslinked polymers can be elastomeric. The present disclosure is also directed to articles including these bladders, methods of forming these bladders, and methods of making articles including these bladders, where the bladders include the cured coating.

An aqueous dispersion of polyurethane resin is obtained by a chain elongation reaction in water wherein (C) at least one chain extender selected from a group consisting of water-soluble polyamines, hydrazine and derivatives thereof is added to a dispersion liquid obtained by emulsifying and dispersing a mixture in water. The mixture comprises: (B) at least one compound selected from the phosphorous compounds represented by the following formula (1) and (A) an urethane prepolymer and/or a neutralized urethane prepolymer material which has an isocyanate group at the terminal. The urethane prepolymer of component (A) is an urethane prepolymer obtained from (a1) an organic polyisocyanate and (a2) a polymeric polyol. The neutralized urethane prepolymer material of component (A) is a neutralized material obtained by neutralizing an urethane prepolymer which is obtained by further using (a3) a compound having an anionic hydrophilic group and at least two active hydrogens in a molecule together with the components (a1) and (a2).
