Summary
PLA (polylactic acid) nanoplastics were fabricated via laser ablation to create a reference model for studying biobased nanoplastics in aquatic environments, with the resulting particles sharing surface chemistry characteristics with environmentally degraded PLA debris.
In response to the limited environmentally relevant biobased nanoplastic models, the formation of poly(lactic acid) nanoplastics with comparable properties to the ones deriving from the environmental ageing of poly(lactic acid) debris, is presented.
