Abstract
Described herein are coating compositions having unique mechanical and physical properties. The coating compositions are composed of zinc oxide nanoparticles, copper nanoparticles, a perfluorolkylsiloxane, and an organic solvent. The coating compositions can be applied to any article or any surface of an article where it is desirable to reduce surface wettability or prevent the growth of bacteria.
