Abstract
A coated article includes a substrate and a coating covering at least a portion of the substrate. The coating includes a binder having a glass transition temperature in the range of −110° C. to −40° C. The coating also includes a set of microcapsules having sizes in the range of 1 micron to 15 microns, and at least one of the set of microcapsules is chemically bonded to either of, or both, the substrate and the binder.
