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).

该项目的题目是《创新新冠肺炎耐洗手表面(CR)和洗手盆，在公共区域推广洗手》。该项目的目标是确定耐新冠肺炎并具有兼容性的材料，用于制造洗脸盆。行业合作伙伴硅谷丙烯酸酯在不列颠哥伦比亚省的米申市拥有完善的制造设施。这项研究的主要目标之一是通过改变表面的物理(纳米或微相)和化学特性来改变成品的表面性能(通常是丙烯酸或乙烯基)。开发的涂层/表面将减少冠状病毒冠状刺状物的粘连倾向。此外，由于材料的自然化学特性，表面也可能具有抗病原性。在这个项目的最后阶段，将使用开发的涂料设计一个便携式洗手站。这项合作的长期成果将促进在公共场所洗手，特别是在进入前和进入后使用独立的洗手盆。公共领域的例子包括(但不限于)学校、医院、娱乐设施、便利店、超市等。该项目可能会导致一种新的加拿大产品，该产品可以快速制造和部署，作为加拿大对新冠肺炎的回应的一部分。开发的涂层(以喷雾或油漆的形式)也可以用于现有设施(如洗手间)的表面。
