A Raman imaging study of the ecocorona surrounding microplastics in aquatic environments

Current World Environment 2019

Summary

This conference abstract describes a Raman imaging study of the ecocorona—the layer of biological and environmental molecules—surrounding microplastic particles in aquatic environments. The research aims to characterize how this surface coating forms and changes in polar aquatic settings, with implications for how microplastics interact with organisms and transport contaminants.
