Coating compositions, methods and articles of manufacture comprising a
nanoparticle system employing same to impart surface modifying benefits
for all types of soft surfaces, and in some cases, hard surfaces, are
disclosed. In some embodiments, dispersement of nanoparticles in a
suitable carrier medium allows for the creation of coating compositions,
methods and articles of manufacture that create multi-use benefits to the
modified surfaces. These surface modifications can produce long lasting or
semi-permanent multi-use benefits that, in some embodiments, may include
at least one of the following improved surface properties: cleaning,
wettability, liquid strike-through, comfort, stain resistance, soil
removal, malodor control, modification of surface friction, reduced damage
to abrasion and color enhancement, relative to the surfaces unmodified
with such nanoparticle systems.
