Machine Learning of polymer types from the spectral signature of Raman spectroscopy microplastics data [PDF]
Advances in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AAIML)
2023, 2022 The tools and technology that are currently used to analyze chemical compound structures that identify polymer types in microplastics are not well-calibrated for environmentally weathered microplastics. Microplastics that have been degraded by environmental weathering factors can offer less analytic certainty than samples of microplastics that have not

Polylactic acid synthesis, biodegradability, conversion to microplastics and toxicity: a review
Environmental Chemistry Letters, 2023 Global pollution by plastics derived from petroleum has fostered the development of carbon–neutral, biodegradable bioplastics synthesized from renewable resources such as modern biomass, yet knowledge on the impact of bioplastics on ecosystems is limited.

Micromachines for Microplastics Treatment [PDF]
ACS Nanoscience Au, 2022 The increasing accumulation of persistent nondegradable microplastics in the marine environment represents a global environmental problem. Among emerging approaches to tackle microplastics are micro- and nanomotors, tiny devices capable of autonomous propulsion powered by chemical fuels or light.

Microplastic Index—How to Predict Microplastics Formation?
Polymers, 2023 The presence of microplastics in environmental compartments is generally recognized as a (potential) health risk. Many papers have been published on the abundance of microplastics at various locations around the globe, but only limited knowledge is available on possible mitigation routes.

Wastewater treatment alters microbial colonization of microplastics.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Microplastics are ubiquitous contaminants in aquatic habitats globally, and wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are point sources of microplastics. Within aquatic habitats microplastics are colonized by microbial biofilms, which can include pathogenic ...
