Abstract:
1. A composition comprising: a. an associative complex comprising: b. optionally, a dispersant, and; c. optionally, a liquid carrier, wherein the associative complex forms an invisible film upon a surface of a substrate wherein said film is less than 500 nanometers in average thickness; wherein the associative complex molar ratio parameter, R, is greater than 0 to about 20, and wherein said associative complex is selected from the group consisting of I) (A) said polymer comprising a polar and/or polarizable first constituent capable of forming a hydrogen bond; and  (B) said polymeric fluorosurfactant comprising a polar and/or polarizable second constituent capable of forming a hydrogen bond with said first constituent; and II) (A) said polymer comprising a charged and/or polarizable third constituent and at least one polar and/or polarizable fourth constituent capable of forming a hydrogen bond; and  (B) said polymeric fluorosurfactant comprising a charged/and or polarizable fifth constituent and at least one polar and/or polarizable sixth constitutuent capable of forming a hydrogen bond with said fourth constituent; wherein said fifth constituent bears a charge opposite to that of said third constituent.
