    Abstract: A composition is provided, including water, a base, and surface-modified inorganic oxide nanoparticles dispersed in the water. The nanoparticles are functionalized with an alpha-hydroxy acid or its salt. An article is also provided, including a substrate in and layers containing bi-layers. A portion of the layers include surface-modified inorganic oxide nanoparticles functionalized with an alpha-hydroxy acid or its salt. A dielectric mirror is also provided, including a substrate, a first stack of bi-layers disposed on the substrate, and a second stack of bi-layers positioned in planar contact with the first stack. The second stack of bi-layers exhibits a refractive index of less than 1.50. Further, an exposed lens retroreflective article is provided including a binder layer, a layer of transparent microspheres partially embedded in the binder layer, and a reflective layer between the binder layer and the microspheres including a dielectric mirror. Additionally, methods of making compositions and articles are provided.

    Abstract: Coatable compositions for formation of ink-receptive layers, which may be aqueous suspensions, comprise a mixture of: a) 8.0-75 wt % (based on the total weight of a), b), c), and d)) of colloidal silica particles having an average particle size of 2.0-150 nm; b) 10-75 wt % of one or more polyester polymers; c) 10-75 wt % of one or more polymers selected from the group consisting of polyurethane polymers and (meth)acrylate polymers; and d) 0-10 wt % of one or more crosslinkers. Ink-receptive layers, which may exhibit high gloss and high ink anchoring are also provided, as are constructions comprising such layers. Porous solids are also provided, comprising: a) 8.0-75 wt % of colloidal silica particles having an average particle size of 2.0-150 nm; and b) one or more water dispersible polymers.
