Summary

Researchers synthesized carbon quantum dots from oil palm frond waste and tested their fluorescence properties for detecting polyethylene and PET microplastics. The bio-based quantum dots provided a cost-effective and environmentally friendly sensing approach for identifying common plastic polymers in environmental samples.

Polymers

Abundant plastic waste degradation to microplastics may cause pollution hazards for the environment. The circulation of microplastic pollution supports the initiation of research related to detecting microplastics in the environment. One method for d
