Summary

Researchers studied how different types of UV-simulated aging affect the ability of polylactic acid microplastics to adsorb and release bisphenol A. The study found that aging conditions changed the surface properties of the biodegradable plastic, altering its interaction with this common environmental contaminant. The findings suggest that even biodegradable microplastics can act as carriers of harmful chemicals depending on their degradation state.

Polymers
PLA

Different UV wavelengths were used to simulate aging. The adsorption/desorption behavior of polylactic acid (PLA) on bisphenol A (BPA) before and after aging was studied.
