Stability and dispersibility of microplastics in experimental exposure medium and their dimensional characterization by SMLS, SAXS, Raman microscopy, and SEM

New Identities of Micro- and Nanoplastics Formed from Biological Effects (Bio-MNPs)

“…A mucin corona enhanced cellular uptake and delayed the intracellular trafficking of PS NPs in lung epithelial cells. 19 Ompala et al 20 confirmed that the bovine serum protein corona formed on the PE surface could promote the reorganization of the polymer chains, facilitating the release of NPs. This may be the most substantial difference between bio-MNPs and other MNPs because the biocorona can endow MNPs with new biological identities, ultimately affecting their behavior and toxic effects in the ecosystem.…”
