  1. NANOTECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS FOR TREATMENT: COST EFFECTIVE AND RAPID TECHNOLOGIES; SMART MATERIALS OR ACTIVE SURFACE COATINGS Wilfred Chen Chemical and Environmental Engineering University of California, Riverside

  2. Why Nanomaterials? • Ability to manipulate, control and build materials at the atomic and molecular level • Provide novel affinity, capacity, and selectivity because of their unique physical, chemical and biological properties. • Create large structures with new molecular organization that will facilitate recovery

  3. Types of Nanomaterials for Environmental Treatments • 1. Smart modified surfaces or membranes • 2. Nanostructured materials • 3. Molecularly imprinted polymers • 4. Nanoscale Biopolymers

  4. Smart Surfaces or Membranes
