(57) SUMMARY A diffusely reflective article made from an optical body that includes a continuous phase and a dispersed phase is disclosed along with a method for making such an article. Also disclosed are incompletely stretched continuous / disperse phase optics that are particularly suitable for the forming process. The articles, methods, and optics of the present invention allow for secondary shaping of optics while maintaining a desired level of diffuse reflectance of articles molded from the optics. |
