Accelerated Weathering to Produce Model Microplastics
Three step microplastic synthesis method
To understand the mechanisms of how plastics interact with our bodies and the environment, one of our objectives has been to find ways to systematically produce models of micro- and nanoplastics with environmentally relevant surface characteristics. Our recent efforts in this area in collaboration with Subhasis Ghoshal and Julian Gigault was published here: J. Hong, O. Hengelbrok, J. Gigault, S. Ghoshal, A. Moores Env. Sci.
