Anti-microbial plastics will be developed in collaboration with NOVA Chemicals, Canada for the generation of commodity materials that can be used in anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal applications. The covalent incorporation of anti-microbial functionality such as photoactive oxidation catalysts, metal nano-particles or quaternary ammonium units into commodity polymers allows for the generation of materials that will resist leaching of the biologically active function and will display long-lasting anti-microbial activity. These new plastics are well suited for next-generation PPE, such as reuseable or disposable face masks, or high-touch surfaces in public locations. Success in the project will generate a made-in-Canada solution to promote pandemic readiness into the future.

抗微生物塑料将与加拿大NOVA Chemicals合作开发，用于生产可用于抗病毒、抗菌和抗真菌应用的商品材料。将抗微生物功能（如光活性氧化催化剂、金属纳米颗粒或季铵单元）的共价结合到商品聚合物中，可以生成抗生物活性功能浸出的材料，并显示持久的抗微生物活性。这些新塑料非常适合用于下一代个人防护装备，如可重复使用或一次性口罩，或公共场所的高接触表面。该项目的成功将产生一种加拿大制造的解决办法，以促进今后对大流行病的防范。
