One or more aspects of the present disclosure are directed to aqueous solutions that can be used to make substrates such as an article that can inhibit or limit one or more sources of odor. In an aspect, the aqueous solution can include one or more components, where one of the components is an inhibiting agent that can function to inhibit or limit the sources of odor in an article such as a textile.

A textile structure including one or more layers of warp yarns interwoven with one or more layers of weft yarns, a durable thermoregulating coating, and a binder that chemically bonds the durable thermoregulating coating to the textile structure. The warp yarns and/or weft yarns include polyester yarns. A method for manufacturing a textile structure includes weaving one or more layers of warp yarns with one or more layers or weft yarns to form a woven textile structure, brushing the textile structure at least two times, applying a binder to the textile structure, and applying a durable thermoregulating coating to the textile structure such that the binder chemically bonds the durable thermoregulating coating to the textile structure. The method may also include heat setting and curing the textile structure to fix the durable thermoregulating coating permanently onto the textile structure.

A water dispersible repellent containing a modified form of a polyol, wherein the volume abundance ratio of particles having a size of 100 m or more, as measured by laser diffraction scattering, is 25% or less, and the polyol has one cyclic structure or does not have a cyclic structure, the repellent being capable of imparting oil resistance to a base material (for example, fiber or paper).

The present invention relates generally to methods of producing, using, and storing stable aqueously dispersed superhydrophobic compositions made from these compositions to provide superhydrophobic treatments on a range of porous, semi-porous, and non-porous target materials and surfaces as well as combinations of these materials and surfaces. More particularly, the present invention provides stably dispersed waterborne superhydrophobic compositions comprising colloidal silica or hydrophobically-modified silicon dioxide (i.e., silica) and one or more additional agents and/or compounds. When the compositions of the present invention are applied (e.g., via spray deposition, immersion, liquid application, and the like) to a suitable target material and/or surface the target is imparted with a durable (super)hydrophobic coating.
