Self-Consistent Field Modelling of Microplastic Particle Formation and Adsorption of Macromolecular Pollutants

Microplastics
Accumulation of microplastics (MPs) in aqueous environments poses a serious ecological problem nowadays. MP particles are able to adsorb pollutants of different kinds and to transport them to living organisms, leading to biotoxicity. Hence, investigation

Microplastics

Cambridge Prisms: Plastics, 2023
Plastic production has greatly increased in the past decades and has become central to modern human life. Realization is dawning that plastics break down into smaller pieces resulting in micro-or nanoplastics (MNP) that can enter humans directly via the environment. Indeed, MNP have been detected in every part of the human body, including the placenta,

Preliminary Proposal for Standardizing the Protocol for the Determination of Microplastics’ Influence on the CO₂ and/or CH₄ Emission in Agricultural Soils

Applied Sciences
Soil contamination by microplastics (MPs) is a global problem, exacerbated by the growing production of plastics and low levels of recycling. Considering that agricultural lands constitute a significant part of the land surface (37.7%), the study of the ...

Impact of Hydrogen Incorporation on Electronic and Magnetic Structure of X2CrNi18‐9 Stainless Steel

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Hydrogen uptake in austenitic stainless steel alters both its electronic and magnetic structure. Seebeck measurements reveal hydrogen‐induced shifts in the electronic density of states, while neutron scattering uncovers nanoscale inhomogeneities that grow upon hydrogen incorporation, with the most pronounced effect observed in the PBF as‐built state ...
