The object
Theresa Dankovich developed nano-silver embedded paper filters for point-of-use water disinfection. The National Science Foundation describes an effort to manufacture the antimicrobial filter paper at scale, while a 2024 chemical-engineering report characterizes the coated paper as a low-cost water-filtering product.
01
What Theresa did
Developed nano-silver embedded antimicrobial paper filters for low-cost point-of-use water purification.
02
Why it matters
NSF funded scale-up work focused on mass-produced antimicrobial paper filters for affordable household water purification.
03
Living-status check
The NSF's fiscal-year 2024 project record names Dankovich as principal investigator for the active Phase II water-filter development effort.
