项目摘要

The title of this project is "Innovative COVID-19 resistant surfaces (CRS) and wash basins to promote hand washing in public areas." The goal of this project is to identify materials that are resistant to COVID-19 and have compatibility to be utilized during the manufacturing of wash basins. The industry partner Valley acrylic has a well established manufacturing facility in Mission, B.C. One of the key objectives of this research is to modify the finished surface properties (typically acrylic or vinyl) by changing their physical (nano or micro phase) and chemical characteristics. The developed coating/surface will reduce the tendency of the crown like spikes of the Corona virus from adhering. In addition, the surface may also have anti-pathogenic properties due to the natural chemistry of the material. In the final stage of this project, a portable hand-wash station will be designed using the developed coating. The long-term outcome of this collaboration will promote hand washing in public areas especially pre and post entry by using stand alone wash basins. Examples of public areas include (but not limited to) schools, hospitals, recreation facilities, convenient stores, super markets, etc. This project will potentially lead to a new Canadian product that can be manufactured and deployed rapidly as a part of the Canadian response to COVID-19. The developed coating (in the form of a spray or paint) could also be possible used for surfaces in existing facilities (like washrooms).

该项目的标题是“创新的Covid-19耐药表面（CRS）和Wash盆地，以促进公共区域的洗手。”该项目的目的是确定对Covid-19具有抗性的材料，并具有在洗手盆制造过程中使用的兼容性。该行业伙伴谷丙烯酸在卑诗省Mission拥有良好的制造工厂。这项研究的关键目标之一是通过更改其物理（纳米或微相）和化学特性来修改成品表面特性（通常是丙烯酸或乙烯基）。开发的涂层/表面将减少冠状病毒的尖头的趋势。此外，由于材料的自然化学，表面也可能具有抗病原特性。在该项目的最后阶段，将使用已开发的涂层设计便携式洗手站。这项合作的长期结果将在公共区域促进洗手，尤其是使用独立的Wash盆地前后入境。公共区域的例子包括（但不限于）学校，医院，娱乐设施，便利商店，超级市场等。该项目有可能导致新的加拿大产品，可以作为加拿大对Covid-19的响应的一部分，可以迅速制造和部署。也可以在现有设施中的表面（如洗手间）中使用开发的涂层（以喷雾或油漆的形式）。
