Spatial Distribution of Microplastics and Mesoplastics in Sediments across Hsinchu, Taiwan
Journal of Student Research, 2023 Microplastics are becoming a major environmental concern, as they are ubiquitous, but their harm is not fully understood. Since research on microplastics in sediments in urban areas is scarce, this study aimed to uncover where microplastics may be the most abundant. City center, city border, and outer city sites were examined.

Microplastic Detectability Investigation in Soils Using X‐Ray Microtomography
X-Ray Spectrometry, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 387-398, May/June 2026.ABSTRACT X‐ray microtomography (microCT) is a promising tool for investigating microplastic (MP) contamination in soils, offering non‐destructive 3D visualization and quantitative analysis of particles embedded in complex matrices. This study evaluated its applicability by mixing plastic fragments (PET, PEHD, PS, and PP) with humus‐rich and sandy soils

Competition between mesoplasticity and damage under HCF – Elasticity/damage shakedown concept [PDF]
International Journal of Fatigue, 2007 The aim of this paper is to present new modelling dedicated to multiaxial high cycle fatigue (HCF), and applied to polycrystalline metals. The model presented is based on the experimental characterization of damage during HCF tests, under pure tension and torsion modes.

Pollution to Solution: Understanding and Addressing Microplastic Contamination in the Environment
Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 3, Spring 2026.ABSTRACT In general, plastic pollution results from the unintentional release of macroplastic materials into the environment as well as the deliberate production and usage of small plastic particles (micro‐ and nano‐sized plastic particles) in a variety of consumer products micro and nanoplastics in filtrate freshwater and marine environments because ...

Assessment of Prevalence and Heterogeneity of Meso- and Microplastic Pollution in Icelandic Waters [PDF]
, 2022 Surface water samples were collected using a low-tech aquatic debris instrument (LADI) at six nearshore locations on the north and northwestern coasts of Iceland to investigate the prevalence of mesoplastic (5–10 mm) and microplastic (0.3–5 ...
