    Abstract: The present disclosure is drawn to coated print media, methods of making coated print media, and methods of printing. In one example, a coated print medium can include a substrate, a base coating layer on the substrate, and a top coating layer on the base coating layer. The base coating layer can include an inorganic pigment, a binder, and a fixing agent. The top coating layer can include polyvinyl alcohol and polymer nanobeads having a gloss transition temperature from 70 °C to 350 °C. The polyvinyl alcohol and polymer nanobeads can be included at from 50 wt% to 100 wt% by dry weight of the top coating layer.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is drawn to methods of radiative embossing print media. In one example, the method of radiative embossing a print medium can include printing a radiation absorbing ink on a coated print medium to form a printed area. The coated print medium can include a print substrate and an expanding coating layer on the print substrate. The expanding coating layer can include a thermal expansion agent having a minimum expansion temperature. The method can further include heating the coated print medium using a heater such that the printed area and unprinted area reach a first temperature from 5 °C to 90 °C below the minimum expansion temperature. The coated print medium can be irradiated with radiation having a wavelength from 200 nm to 400 nm to selectively heat the print area and expand the thermal expansion agent in the printed area.

    Abstract: Self-wicking assay devices can include a hydrophilic porous substrate for sequential sample fluid flow from a complexing region to a detecting region thereof. The complexing region can include an analyte-complexing compound on the hydrophilic porous substrate, and the detecting region can be positioned downstream from the complexing region along the hydrophilic porous substrate. A binding promoter can be applied to the detecting region of hydrophilic porous substrate, an immobilized testing compound can be applied to the binding promoter at a first discrete location of the detecting region, and an immobilized control compound can be applied to the binding promoter at a second discrete location of the detecting region.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to self-wicking assay devices that can include a porous membrane for sequential flow of a sample fluid from a complexing region to a detecting region thereof. The complexing region can include a releasing compound to ameliorate binding between a porous membrane and an analyte introduced by the sample fluid and an analyte-complexing compound. The detecting region can be positioned downstream from the complexing region along the porous membrane. The detecting region can include an immobilized testing compound applied to the porous membrane at a first discrete location of the detecting region, and an immobilized control compound applied to the porous membrane at a second discrete location of the detecting region.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods of modifying porous wicking membranes. In one example, a method of modifying a porous wicking membrane can include applying a flow modifier composition to a porous wicking membrane. The porous wicking membrane can have an initial capillary flow time (CFT) before the flow modifier composition is applied and a modified CFT after the flow modifier composition is applied. The modified CFT can be finite and different from the initial CFT. The CFT can be defined as the time for a water front to traverse a distance of 4 cm across the porous wicking membrane. The flow modifier composition can include an aqueous liquid vehicle and a flow modifying material that includes wax nanoparticles to increase the CFT or a surfactant to decrease the CFT.

    Abstract: The present disclosure describes methods of forming hydrophobic flow barriers in porous substrates. In one example, a method of forming a hydrophobic flow barrier in a porous substrate can include applying a flow modifier composition onto an area of a surface of a porous substrate. The flow modifier composition can include an aqueous solvent, dispersed hydrophobic material particles, and a dispersant. The flow modifier composition can wick through pores of the porous substrate. The method can also include controlling the lateral spread, or penetration depth, or both, of the flow modifier composition through the porous substrate to form a hydrophobic flow barrier.
