    This group presentation discusses a solution to provide safe drinking water and overcome limitations of existing filtration membranes. [1] Approximately 783 million people lack access to safe drinking water. [2] Conventional polyether sulfone membranes used for ultrafiltration are susceptible to biofouling and hydrophobic. [3] The group has developed an antifouling membrane by adding silver nanoparticles to polyether sulfone membranes. Silver nanoparticles are toxic to bacteria and viruses. This increases the membrane's hydrophilicity and resistance to biofouling. [4] The membrane production process involves mixing a polymer solution with a second solution containing silver nanoparticles to cast the membrane.
