Described herein is a multilayered article and methods of making and using such articles. The multilayered article comprises: .Math. (a) a microsphere layer comprising a plurality of microspheres (11) disposed in a monolayer; .Math. (b) a bead bonding layer (12) comprising a first major surface and a second opposing major surface wherein the plurality of microspheres is at least partially embedded in the first major surface of the bead bonding layer, and wherein the bead bonding layer comprises a thermoset polyurethane, and wherein the thermoset polyurethane is derived from one or more liquid polyols; and .Math. (c) an elastomeric layer (14) disposed on the second opposing major surface of the bead bonding layer.

A main object of the present disclosure is to provide a decorative sheet including a barrier layer having excellent solid fragrance resistance and close adhesiveness. The present disclosure achieves the object by providing a decorative sheet comprising at least a substrate sheet, a barrier layer, and a surface protecting layer in this order, wherein the barrier layer includes a vinyl alcohol based resin, and a polyurethane resin.

An image display device for displaying wall art, comprising: a transparent top layer comprising a thermoplastic polymer, wherein the transparent top layer comprises a first side and a second side, and wherein the top layer overlays a viewing side of at least one image.

An improved protected graphics assembly according to the invention comprises the following sequential layers: optionally, at least one adhesive layer; at least one graphics layer; and at least one outwardly exposed polymer layer that is essentially free of low surface energy materials and has a gloss value of greater than 90 when tested according to ASTM D2457-03 at a 60-degree angle. The assembly is beneficially applied to a variety of articles and used in a variety of related methods. In an exemplary embodiment, a race car comprises a protected graphics assembly that comprises: optionally, at least one adhesive layer; at least one outwardly exposed polymer layer that is essentially free of low surface energy materials; and at least one graphics layer substantially protected from exterior exposure by the polymer layer.

A protective member for a graphic transfer assembly includes an interior portion to receive a sole structure of an article of footwear. The protective member may protect the sole structure from heat applied by a graphic transfer assembly. The protective member can also prevent portions of a sole structure from damaging components of a graphic transfer assembly. The protective member can be contoured to improve the seal between deformable membranes of the graphic transfer assembly.

The invention relates to a method for preparing a sheet item that is intended to be attached to a permanent carrier. The method includes the following steps:—applying at least one layer (201, 202, 203), of material to be painted, onto a temporary carrier (10), the temporary carrier being selected so that, after drying, the temporary carrier (10) is separated by peeling from the layer of material to be painted or the first layer of material to be painted; before the layer of material to be painted or the last layer of material to be painted has completely dried,—applying, directly onto the free surface of the same, a non-adhesive fibrous material backing layer (30) under mechanical conditions suitable for creating partial interpenetration of the fibers of the material of the backing layer (30) and the undried material (203) to be painted; and after drying,—permanently anchoring the layer(s), of material to be painted, onto said backing layer (30).

A decorative film that can handle various adherend shapes and application methods and has a visual effect that changes according to viewing angle. The decorative film of one embodiment includes a substrate layer, a photoluminescent layer that is adjacent to the substrate layer and has an unevenly-shaped surface, a transparent resin layer adjacent to the photoluminescent layer, and an outermost layer. A storage elastic modulus of at least the substrate layer or the transparent resin layer is 1×10.sup.6 Pa to 1.5×10.sup.8 Pa in a temperature range of 100° C. to 150° C. when measured under conditions of a frequency of 10 Hz and a shearing mode.

A door wrap has an inner and outer face. The outer face displays a main decoration and can have a main message zone. Additional components can include: a plurality of cut-outs, a plurality of attachable art pieces, and a door attachment means. The inner face faces towards an outer surface of a door and so is itself generally not visible when mounted. The inner face of the door wrap can also include second main decorations, main message zones, and attachable art pieces. The door attachment means can be a grommet attachment in each of the four corners and each including an elastic cord that can be wrapped over the corner of the door to secure the door wrap. Cut-outs can be scored so that a user can easily remove that portion of the door wrap to allow a door handle, etc. to protrude therethrough.
