Abstract
The effective, affordable removal of hazardous molecules, viruses and bacteria from water is of paramount importance. In this paper, we investigate the use of various novel colloidal and interfacial strategies for such removal. The objective of this work is to develop methodologies for the removal, in a costeffective manner, of bacteria and viruses from water, with the implication that such methodologies will be applicable to poorer countries which may not be able to afford the more expensive water treatments such as reverse osmosis.
