Abstract The purpose of this project is to create silver nanoparticle polyurethane foam filters. The unique properties of nanoparticles may bring filtration properties that can be applied to water sanitation. To test the filters, they will be used to filter out heavy metals, a common pesticide, and bacteria. This will determine the effectiveness of the filter.
