    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a coated microstructured film (100a-c). The coated film includes microstructures (110) extending across a first surface of the microstructured film (100a-e) and a coating (130) on a first portion of at least some of the microstructures (110). The coating (130) includes one or more polyelectrolytes and has an average thickness T. A second portion of the coated microstructures either lacks the coating or has the coating with an average thickness of no more than 50% of T. The coating (130) is essentially free of any light absorptive material. A method of making the coated microstructured film (100a-c) is also provided. The method includes obtaining a microstructured film (100a), applying a coating (130) containing one or more polyelectrolytes to at least some of the microstructures (110), and removing at least some of the coating (130) from a second portion of the coated microstructures. Additionally, the present disclosure provides a method of making a light control film (110d. 100e). The method includes the above method as well as either infusing a light absorptive material into the coating of the coated microstructured film (100b-d) or applying a layer of a pigment on the coating. Such a light control film exhibits a transmission of visible light of 75% or greater at a viewing angle of 0 degrees.

    Abstract: A light control film includes a two-dimensional array of projections arranged across the light control film. A square of a magnitude of a Fourier transform frequency spectrum of the projections includes a plurality of distinct peaks separated by one or more valleys. The peaks and the one or more valleys have respective averages Pavg and Vavg, Pavg/Vavg≥5, such that when light from a substantially Lambertian light source is incident on the light control film, the light control film transmits the incident light with the transmitted light propagating along a transmission axis and having an intensity profile having a full width at half maximum of less than about 120 degrees in each cross-section of the intensity profile that comprises the transmission axis.

    Abstract: An optical film has a major surface including a plurality of microstructures. Each microstructure includes an optical facet and a sidewall meeting the optical facet at a ridge of the microstructure. The optical facet and the sidewall define an oblique angle therebetween. For each microstructure in at least a majority of the microstructures, an optically absorptive layer is disposed on the sidewall. The optical film can include a polymeric layer having a microstructured surface at least partially coated with an inorganic optically transparent layer. The optically absorptive layer can an average thickness t where 100 nm

    Abstract: A fluid control film is provided that includes fluid control channels extending along a channel longitudinal axis. Each of the fluid control channels has a surface and is configured to allow capillary movement of liquid in the channels. The fluid control film further includes a hydrophilic surface treatment covalently bonded to at least a portion of the surface of the fluid control channels. The fluid control film exhibits a capillary rise percent recovery of at least ten percent. Typically, the hydrophilic surface treatment includes functional groups selected from a non-zwitterionic sulfonate, a non-zwitterionic carboxylate, a zwitterionic sulfonate, a zwitterionic carboxylate, a zwitterionic phosphate, a zwitterionic phosphonic acid, and/or a zwitterionic phosphonate. A process for forming a fluid control film is also provided. Further, a process for cleaning a structured surface is provided, including providing a structured surface and a hydrophilic surface treatment covalently bonded to at least a portion of the structured surface, and soiling the structured surface with a material. The process also includes removing the material by at least one of submerging the structured surface in an aqueous fluid, rinsing the structured surface with an aqueous fluid, condensing an aqueous fluid on the structure surface, or wiping the structured surface with a cleaning implement.
