The growing resistance of bacteria and other microbes towards treatment by the most powerful antibiotics is atremendous challenge that threatens our ability to treat common infections, with potentially profound effects onthe health of our general population. Biocidal polymers are processable plastic materials with antimicrobialproperties that represent an exciting tool in the war on microbial infections. In particular, antimicrobialN-halamine-containing polymers are more environmentally friendly and less toxic than traditionalleaching-based systems, while still remaining active against a broad spectrum of microorganisms. Exigence, aWinnipeg-based materials science firm, is developing composite biocidal polymers that exhibit both promisinganti-microbial activity and properties that allow them to be deployed as coatings in a range of settings, fromfood preparation to health care. The proposed research will focus on investigating the materials properties ofExigence's proprietary polymer precursors. A successful project outcome would develop synthetic strategies forproducing improved materials that would benefit Exigence by addressing a key knowledge gap with respect topolymer structure and composition and their ultimate properties as coating materials.

细菌和其他微生物对最强大的抗生素治疗的抵抗力不断增强，这是一个巨大的挑战，威胁着我们治疗常见感染的能力，可能对我们普通民众的健康产生深远的影响。杀菌聚合物是具有抗菌特性的可加工塑料材料，是对抗微生物感染的令人兴奋的工具。特别是，与传统的基于浸出的系统相比，含N-卤胺的抗菌聚合物更加环保且毒性更低，同时仍然保持对广谱微生物的活性。 Exigence 是一家总部位于温尼伯的材料科学公司，正在开发复合杀菌聚合物，该聚合物不仅具有良好的抗菌活性，而且具有可在从食品制备到医疗保健等一系列环境中用作涂层的特性。拟议的研究将重点研究 Exigence 专有聚合物前体的材料特性。一个成功的项目成果将制定生产改进材料的合成策略，通过解决聚合物结构和组成及其作为涂层材料的最终性能方面的关键知识差距，使 Exigence 受益。
