Extensive HPLC-tandem mass spectrometry characterization of soluble degradation products of biodegradable nanoplastics under environmentally relevant temperature and irradiation conditions
Summary
HPLC-tandem mass spectrometry was used to identify low molecular weight degradation products of biodegradable nanoplastics (PLA, PCL, PET) under environmentally relevant temperature and irradiation conditions. Only hydrolysis products were detected for all three polymers, providing clarity on degradation pathways under realistic environmental conditions.
The low molecular weight degradation products of nanosize biodegradable plastics were identified by mass spectrometry. The only detected products for PLA, PCL and PET were found to a rise from hydrolysis.
