On the microplasticity and dynamic strain aging in an FeAlCrMo complex-concentrated alloy [PDF]
We show by acoustic emission analysis that FeAlCrMo complex-concentrated alloy (CCA) exhibits signatures of self-organization of deformation processes during both microplasticity and serrated flow (dynamic strain aging). Due to complex microstructures of CCAs and scarcity of literature data, these novel alloys are a prominent subject of future research

ChemBioChem, EarlyView.This research examines polyethylene terephthalate (PET)/cotton textiles biodegradation, using different stressors as enzymatic incubation. It reveals that aggressive chemical treatments (alkali conditions) cause nonspecific degradation, affecting both PET and cotton fibers.

Removal of microplastics from aqueous media using activated jute stick charcoal
HeliyonMicroplastics (MPs), which are repositories of various pollutants, have significant effects on the people and the environment. Therefore, there is an urgent need for efficient and eco-friendly techniques to eliminate microplastics from water-based ...

Surface plasmon resonance sensor based on a novel prism for the detection of a broad range of polymers [PDF]
Microplastics are pervasive pollutants that pose threats to the environment and human health. Detecting them reliably represents a crucial step toward finding solutions. While traditional techniques like vibrational and mass spectroscopies are time-consuming and have limitations in analysing polymers with pigment additives, surface plasmon resonance ...

Spatial–Temporal Characterization of Microplastics in the Surface Water of an Urban Ephemeral River
MicroplasticsRivers are recognized as major unilateral pathways of microplastic transport between terrestrial and marine ecosystems, yet our understanding of their dispersal patterns over space and through time as they migrate from source to sink is limited.
