Abstract: The invention relates to improved hydrophobicity and water protection of a fibrous fabric substrate (cotton, synthetics and/or their blends) by depositing a thin nanofiber layer and coating with a dispersion of fluoropolymers (fluorinated acrylic co-polymers) that are alternative perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) based on short-chain chemistry of varying chain length (C4, C6, C8, C10, C12, C14, etc.) perfluoroalkyl constituents.

Abstract: Substrates with wet laid staple polymeric nanofibers of short lengths are disclosed. The polymeric nanofibers can be surface coated on a non-woven or woven substrates, wet laid with other fiber types to create a nonwoven substrate or wet laid onto themselves to form a nanofiber-only mat.
