Abstract:The environmental fate and impact of microplastics as well as their possible physiological effects, are expected to depend on their physico-chemical characteristics, including polymer types and surface chemistry. There is thus a clear need to develop a broad range of model microplastic particles to study the fate and effects of environmentally relevant microplastics. Here, a simple one-pot procedure to prepare sub-10 µm poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG)-stabilised glycol modified poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PETG)… Show more
