Effect of wettability on microplastic aerosolization via film and jet drops ejected from bursting bubbles
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers experimentally investigated how wettability of microplastic particles affects their aerosolization via film drops and jet drops ejected from bursting bubbles at the ocean surface. They found that particle wettability significantly controls the probability of microplastic inclusion in ejected droplets, with implications for understanding how microplastics transfer from the ocean surface into the atmosphere.
Wettability of microplastic particles affects their water-to-air ejection via bubble bursting.

Researchers experimentally investigated how the wettability (hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity) of microplastic particles affects their enrichment into jet droplets ejected when bubbles burst at the ocean surface, providing new insight into the mechanisms by which microplastics are transferred across the air-sea interface and potentially aerosolized.
Wettability of microplastic particles affects their water-to-air ejection via bubble bursting.
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers experimentally investigated how the wettability of microplastic particles influences their transfer from water to air via bubble bursting, using 1 micron diameter polystyrene particles with contrasting hydrophilic and hydrophobic surface modifications and finding that particle wettability significantly affects enrichment into aerosolized jet droplets.
The rise and rupture of bubbles: applications to biofouling, microplastic pollution, and sea spray aerosols
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers studied how rising air bubbles in water collect microplastics and bacteria on their surfaces and transport them to the liquid surface, and how bubble bursting then launches these particles into the air as sea spray — with implications for both aquatic contamination and airborne microplastic exposure.
Enhanced Microplastic Flotation: Unraveling the Role of Bubble-Chain Hydrodynamics Via Piv Analysis
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers used particle image velocimetry to show that increasing the number of bubbles in a bubble-chain flotation system creates overlapping vortices that expand the hydrodynamic field, boosting microplastic removal efficiency by up to 48.7% — providing a quantitative basis for improving dissolved air flotation treatment technologies.
