Multiparameter characterisation of a nano-polypropylene representative test material with fractionation, light scattering, high-resolution microscopy, spectroscopy, and spectrometry methods
AI summary Read the abstract
This study comprehensively characterised a nano-polypropylene reference material using a battery of analytical techniques to understand its size, shape, and surface properties — filling a critical gap because researchers currently lack standardised nanoplastic reference materials. Reliable reference materials are essential for producing comparable, reproducible data across laboratories studying nanoplastic risks.
Reference and quality control materials with comparable physicochemical properties to nanoplastic contaminants present in environmental and food nanoplastics are currently lacking.
