New NSF Rapid Award

Motivated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Hastings group has joined a new collaboration led by Dr. Bhattacharya (UK Chemical Engineering) to address the need for more breathable, antiviral masks.

See the UK Research news article for more information.

The research is supported by a new NSF award  "RAPID: Antiviral Functionalized Membrane Mask and Nanostructured Materials for Corona Virus Capture and Deactivation."
