I'm not sure I'd trust the opinion of someone who called them 
"nano-particles".  :-)

The difference between nano-tech and chemistry is (for the most part) 
the design and manufacturing, not the final product. (Unless you're 
talking about actual nano machinery, like atomic-sized engines.)

I.e., if the "nano-cover" works by having little gripping claws to hold 
it to the fabric, and a set of bellows on the other side to blow water 
away, maybe you could see that with a 'scope. Otherwise, I'm not sure 
how you'd determine whether it's really "nano" or not.
