Abstract:The ubiquitous presence of plastic brought on by the extensive use of plastic products calls for efficient and rapid plastic detection methods for the detection and evaluation of pollution. The commonly used Nile red dye takes many hours and is expensive while also not equally efficient across all the common plastic waste. To address this, we investigated the staining efficiency and optimized the ratio of a combined dye of Coomassie brilliant blue and Methylene blue. In the optimisation process, Methanol-based… Show more
