This project seeks to assist a company with the development of antimicrobial coatings that can be used on plastic surfaces. The purpose of these coatings is to reduce the transmission of disease in hospitals and similar other settings, by killing bacteria that are left on the surface after being touched. These "healthcare acquired infections" are a significant source of complications in patients and cost to the health care system, and it has been shown that antimicrobial materials can play a major role in reducing such infections.

该项目旨在帮助一家公司开发可用于塑料表面的抗菌涂层。这些涂层的目的是通过杀死接触后留在表面的细菌来减少疾病在医院和类似环境中的传播。这些“卫生保健获得性感染”是患者并发症和卫生保健系统成本的重要来源，并且已经证明抗菌材料可以在减少此类感染方面发挥重要作用。
