Depollution of air using polymer-based coatings

空气污染是当今最令人担忧的问题之一，对我们社会中的许多人造成了不可接受的健康问题。该项目将致力于提供方便客户使用的材料和产品，帮助解决这一问题，造福英国和全球。该项目将采用英国学术界(伦敦大学学院)和商界(强生马泰)目前正在涌现的新技术，并优化其在广泛使用的产品中的使用，例如使用尖端化学成像技术(Finden)的装饰涂料。该项目将提供高质量的装饰涂料(帝国化学工业的Dulux)，为客户提供额外的空气净化功能，为他们的家庭、学校和工作场所提供额外的空气净化功能，以补充Dulux涂料目前提供的色彩和保护。这将特别侧重于解决一氧化碳、苯、氮氧化物和甲醛造成的室内空气污染。这种功能性装饰涂料也将成为其他以聚合物为基础的涂料采用这一新技术的跳板，如活性食品包装和呼吸保护装置，该项目还将寻求开发新的化学成像技术。

"Air pollution is one of today's most concerning problems, causing unacceptable health issues to many people in our societies. This project will strive to deliver materials, and products for easy customer use, that can help tackle this problem for UK and global benefit.The project will take novel technology now emerging from the UK's academic (University College London) and business (Johnson Matthey) communities and optimise its use in a widely used product such as decorative paint using cutting-edge chemical imaging technology (Finden).This project will deliver high quality decorative paints (Dulux from Imperial Chemical Industries) that offer the customer the additional functionality of air depollution in their homes, their schools and their places of work to compliment the colour and protection that Dulux paints currently offer. This will focus especially on tackling indoor air pollution from carbon monoxide, benzene, nitrogen oxides and formaldehyde.Such functional decorative paints will also act as a springboard for uptake of this novel technology in other polymer-based coatings, such as active food packaging and respiratory protection devices, and the project will also look to exploit new chemical imaging technology."
