Summary

Researchers characterized the optical trapping stability of irregularly shaped lab-made microplastics across different polymer materials (PP, HDPE, and PET), evaluating how particle material, absorption properties, size, and trapping wavelength affect the stability of optical traps for microplastic characterization.

Polymers

To characterize microplastics found in nature, we categorize the optical trapping stability of different irregularly shaped lab-made microplastics. Stability is evaluated based on particle material (PP, HDPE, and PET), absorption and size, and trapping wavelength.
