High throughput microfilters for use in water purification have been developed to address filtration challenges by dramatically decreasing flow resistance and filter size while improving filter strength, longevity, and affordability. The microfilters were fabricated out of a high strength carbon-nanotube composite material using a process for precise hierarchical patterning on both the micro and nano scales.
