His idea for cryogels recently led to an&nbsp;<em>Environmental Science &amp; Technology</em>&nbsp;<a href="http://pubs.acs.org/doi/abs/10.1021/es401219s" rel="nofollow">(<em>ES&amp;T</em>) paper</a>&nbsp;voted as&nbsp;<a href="http://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/es501134f" rel="nofollow"><em>ES&amp;T</em>‘s 2013 Best Paper on Environmental Technology</a>.</p><p>In 2013, 1730 papers were published in&nbsp;<em>ES&amp;T</em>&nbsp;on a wide range of topics. The&nbsp;<em>ES&amp;T</em>&nbsp;Associate Editors and Editorial Advisory Board nominated the highest caliber papers for Best Paper status. Winners are expected to make a large and long-lasting impact on the field.</p><p>The winning paper by Krantz and his colleagues, titled "Superabsorbent Cryogels Decorated with Silver Nanoparticles as a Novel Water Technology for Point-of-Use Disinfection," reports on the use of high porosity poly(sodium acrylate) cryogels uniformly dispersed with silver nanoparticles for rapid water disinfection.</p><p>This research was also&nbsp;<a href="http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v502/n7470/full/502145f.html" rel="nofollow">highlighted by&nbsp;<em>Nature</em></a>.</p><p>Krantz attests, “Retirement is not necessarily the end of the road. I am enjoying research more and publishing more than at any time in my career!”</p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h2> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--ucb-related-articles-block paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div>Off</div> </div> </h2> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Wed, 11 Jun 2014 06:00:00 +0000 Anonymous 384 at /chbe
