Compositions and articles comprising omniphobic materials for bio-related and other applications are generally provided. In some embodiments, the compositions and articles described herein may be introduced internally of a subject (e.g., in the esophagus, in the gastrointestinal tract, in the rectum). In some aspects, the compositions and articles comprise a releasable therapeutic agent In some embodiments, the compositions and articles described herein may be configured to have a relatively short retention time at the location internal of the subject (e.g., less than 2 seconds) such as a capsule comprising an omniphobic coating. In alternative embodiments, the compositions and articles described herein may be configured to have relative long retention times at the location internal of the subject (e.g., greater than 10 minutes) and include a mucoadhesive portion as well as an omniphobic portion. Such articles may have an omniphobic portion which resists adhesion and/or fouling (e.g., by foodstuffs and/or other materials present internal of the subject) of the article, such that the mucoadhesive portion maintains adhesion to the location internal of the subject for relatively long retention times. In some such embodiments, the article may be a Janus-type device.

Provided is an acrylic matte resin film which has a surface having a 60° surface glossiness (Gs60°) of less than 100% on at least one of the films, wherein an arithmetic mean roughness (Ra) of the surface having the surface glossiness satisfies the following formula (1) and wherein the surface satisfying the following formula (1), comprises an acrylic resin composition (a) has a gel content of 40% by mass or more:
2.2×NGs60°.sup.(−0.97)≤Ra≤4.4×NGs60°.sup.(−0.97) . . .   (1)
wherein NGs indicates a value obtained by excluding % from Gs60°, which is less than 100%.

Fiber-reinforced coated mats and fiber-reinforced coated mat-faced panels are provided herein, along with methods for making the same. Fiber-reinforced coated mats include a mat with a fiber-reinforced coating on one surface. Fiber-reinforced coated mat-faced panels include a fiber-coated mat and a panel material in contact with a surface of the mat opposite the fiber-reinforced coating. Methods include applying a fiber-reinforced coating to a surface of a mat to form a coated mat and drying the coated mat to cure the fiber-reinforced coating. Some methods also include combining the mat with a panel material to form a mat-faced panel.

An organic glass includes an acrylic plate, a methyl methacrylate layer, and a fluorescent bubble layer that are sequentially stacked; and the fluorescent bubble layer is prepared from fluorescent polymethyl methacrylate beads, a first methyl methacrylate prepolymer and a second methyl methacrylate prepolymer. The fluorescent polymethyl methacrylate beads added into the raw material of the organic glass have an expandable characteristic, and can generate bubbles according to a design pattern to achieve the purpose of controllable bubbles, and the added fluorescent polymethyl methacrylate beads show fluorescent green under ultraviolet irradiation, giving bubbles a fluorescent color, and enabling the organic glass to have extremely artistic and decorative effects.

A laminated film exhibits a certain adhesive property to various adherends having shapes or different irregularity shapes. The laminated film includes a resin layer A on one surface of a substrate and a resin layer B on the other surface.
