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

open access: yesMacromolecular 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 ...
