Surface Chemical Analysis of Plastic Materials by X‐Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy: Understanding Weathering, Fragmentation and Contaminant Uptake in Marine Environments

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
This Perspective demonstrates how X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) uncovers surface chemical changes in plastics, providing insight into weathering‐driven fragmentation and contaminant adsorption. The Perspective underscores XPS's pivotal role in elucidating fragmentation mechanisms, predicting pollutant–plastic interactions, and guiding ...

Harmfulness Score: A Data‐Driven Framework for Ranking Environmental Risks of Microplastics

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Using machine learning and bibliometric sentiment analysis on over 100 000 abstracts, this study introduces the Harmfulness Score to rank environmental risks of microplastic polymers. Polystyrene and polyethylene emerge as top‐risk materials, supporting targeted regulation and evidence‐based policy recommendations.
