DURABLE TREATMENT FOR FABRICS

摘要

Compositions for imparting a performance enhancing property to a fabric comprising a complex between an anionic polymer and a cationic polymer, wherein either the anionic polymer or the cationic polymer comprises a functional group that is capable of imparting the performance enhancing property to the fabric are disclosed. The performance enhancing properties are durable and can withstand many home launderings. In addition, methods for applying polyelectrolytes complexes to fabrics to impart a persistent performance enhancing property to the fabric are disclosed. Fabrics having durable performance enhancing coatings are described, where the coatings are formed from polyelectrolytes.
