Nile red staining of polyethylene and polystyrene in Daphnia magna tests

open access: yesRomanian Journal of Ecology & Environmental Chemistry, 2023
Microplastics pollution represents a stringent global issue. Their accumulation in the aquatic environment remains complicated due to the abundance, distribution, and resulting environmental effects they induce.

A Reproducible Method for Growing Biofilms on Polystyrene Surfaces: Biomass and Bacterial Viability Evolution of Pseudomonas fluorescens and Staphylococcus epidermidis

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Since biofilm development represents a crucial issue within industrial, clinical and domestic sectors, innovative technologies/approaches (e.g., light technology for inactivation, antibiofilm coatings) are required to eradicate them.

Synthesis, Characterization and Mechanical Properties of Nanocomposites Based on Novel Carbon Nanowires and Polystyrene

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Carbon into polymer nanocomposite is so far a common additive for the enhancement of the polymer properties. The properties of the polymer, such as thermal, and especially its mechanical properties, are improved by the homogeneously dispersed carbon ...

Structural investigations of poly(ethylene terephthalate)- graft-polystyrene copolymer films [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Structural investigations of poly(ethylene terephthalate)-graft-polystyrene (PET-g-PS) films prepared by radiation-induced grafting of styrene onto commercial poly- (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) films were carried out by FTIR, X-ray diffraction (XRD ...

Leachate From Expanded Polystyrene Cups Is Toxic to Aquatic Invertebrates (Ceriodaphnia dubia)

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Expanded polystyrene (EPS) products and their associated chemicals (e.g., styrenes) are widespread in the marine environment. As a consequence, bans on their use for single-use packaging materials are being proposed in several municipalities.

A study on preparation of modified Graphene Oxide and flame retardancy of polystyrene composite microspheres

open access: yesDesigned Monomers and Polymers, 2020
In this paper, the ODOPM, a kind of 9, 10-dihydro-9-oxygen-heterooxy-10-phosphoro-10-oxygen (DOPO) derivative, was obtained by hydroxylation of DOPO.

Crowding Effects of Polystyrene Nanoparticles on Lactate Dehydrogenase Activity in Hydra Attenuata

open access: yesJournal of Xenobiotics, 2020
Plastics pervade our environment and potentially release important quantities of plastic nanoparticles (NPs) from degradation in the environment. The purpose of this study was to examine the crowding effects of polystyrene NPs on lactate dehydrogenase ...

Turning a polystyrene microsphere into a multimode light source by laser irradiation

open access: yesNanophotonics, 2022
Polystyrene (PS) is generally considered as a passive optical material that is transparent to light with wavelengths longer than 300 nm. In practice, PS micro- and nanospheres with uniform sizes are usually used to build photonic crystals based on self ...

Polystyrene Magadiite Nanocomposites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
An organically modified magadiite has been prepared and used to make a mixed intercalated-exfoliated polystyrene nanocomposite by bulk polymerization. This system gives excellent improvement in mechanical properties, but the thermogravimetric analysis ...

Fire properties of styrenic polymer–clay nanocomposites based on an oligomerically-modified clay [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
An oligomerically-modified clay has been used to fabricate nanocomposites with styrenic polymers, such as polystyrene, high-impacted polystyrene, poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) and acrylonitrile–butadiene–styrene by melt blending. The clay dispersion was
