Abstract: A patterned article includes a carrier layer having a microstructured first major surface and an opposing second major surface. The first major surface includes pluralities of upper and lower edges spaced apart along a thickness direction of the carrier layer and defining respective upper and lower portions of the first major surface. The lower portion is disposed between the upper portion and the second major surface. The article includes a first functional layer disposed on the lower, but not the upper portion of the first major surface. The first functional layer includes at least one first micro-cut inorganic layer including a plurality of cut edges substantially coextensive with the plurality of lower edges. A method of making the patterned article is provided. Articles that can be made by transferring a functional layer from the patterned article are provided.

Abstract: A transfer article includes an acrylate layer releasable from a release layer including a metal layer, a metal oxide layer, or a doped semiconductor layer at a release value of from 2 to 50 grams/inch (0.8 to 20 g/cm). A functional layer overlies the acrylate layer, wherein the functional layer includes at least one layer of a functional material selected to provide at least one of a therapeutic, aesthetic or cosmetic benefit on a dental appliance in a mouth of a patient, and wherein the transfer article has a thickness of less than 3 micrometers. A pattern of a transfer material is on a major surface of the functional layer, wherein the transfer material includes an adhesion modifying material chosen from release materials and adhesives.

Abstract: A retroreflective article including a binder layer and a plurality of retroreflective elements. Each retroreflective element includes a transparent microsphere partially embedded in the binder layer. At least some of the retroreflective elements include a first layer that is disposed between the transparent microsphere and the binder layer and a second layer that is disposed between the transparent microsphere and the binder layer. At least one of the first layer and the second layer is a reflective layer; and, the first reflective layer and the second reflective layer differ in reflectivity. For at least some of the retroreflective elements, at least a portion of the second reflective layer is positioned in-parallel to the first reflective layer.
