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 抗性表面 (CRS) 和洗手盆，以促进公共区域洗手。”该项目的目标是确定能够抵抗 COVID-19 且具有兼容性的材料，以便在洗脸盆的制造过程中使用。行业合作伙伴 Valley 丙烯酸在不列颠哥伦比亚省 Mission 拥有完善的制造工厂。这项研究的主要目标之一是通过改变成品表面特性（通常是丙烯酸或乙烯基）的物理（纳米或微相）和化学特性来改变其性能。开发的涂层/表面将减少冠状冠状病毒尖峰粘附的趋势。此外，由于材料的天然化学性质，表面还可能具有抗病原特性。在该项目的最后阶段，将使用开发的涂层设计便携式洗手站。此次合作的长期成果将促进公共区域洗手，特别是在进入前和进入后使用独立洗手盆。公共区域的例子包括（但不限于）学校、医院、娱乐设施、便利店、超市等。该项目将有可能产生一种新的加拿大产品，作为加拿大应对措施的一部分，该产品可以快速制造和部署到新冠肺炎 (COVID-19)。开发的涂层（喷雾或油漆的形式）也可用于现有设施（如洗手间）的表面。
