Utilizing Molecularly Imprinted Technology to Selectively Filter Pollutants by alexkrotz

Summary of changes made: I addressed the low novelty score by discussing the possibility of using recent polymer nanostructures such as polymer nanotubes, and nanoporous polymer membranes to increase the efficiency of the MIP filters. I addressed the judge's comment on cost-effective R&D and feasibility by citing sources where computer modeling was used to aid the design of effective MIPs. Such advances require less experienced researchers to design the MIPs, reducing cost. I addressed the impact score and the novelty by broadening the scope of the proposal to include different, lesser acknowledged pollutants like the fluorocarbons as an ideal target for MIP filters. I addressed the presentation by including linked citations, and editing wording and sentence structure etc. I reached out to ClimateColab Fellow Osero Shadrack Tengeya for help in editing the proposal, and making sure it effectively addressed the judges comments, and the rating. Thank you for considering my proposal, I put a lot of time and effort into optimizing it and I hope you find it promising. Alex Krotz
