  • Fluid-resistant textile fabrics and methods
    Patent number: 9708755
    Abstract: Coating compositions which include a blend of a fluorochemical and a particulate additive comprising a bimodal size distribution of inorganic nanoparticles are provided. The bimodal distribution of inorganic nanoparticles may include a quantity of smaller nanoparticles having an average size distribution of between about 1 to about 15 nm, and a quantity of larger nanoparticles having an average size distribution of between about 40 to about 500 nm. The smaller and larger nanoparticles may be present in a ratio of the smaller sized particles to the larger sized particles of at least 1.2, with the total amount of nanoparticles being present in an amount of between about 0.1 to about 10 wt. % based on total composition weight.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 29, 2012
    Date of Patent: July 18, 2017
    Assignee: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED
