Summary

This study measured the optical trapping properties of various lab-made microplastics to understand how light interacts with these particles. Optical tweezers can be used to manipulate and study individual microplastic particles, which may improve our ability to characterize plastic pollution at small scales.

As microplastics in the environment rise, it becomes increasingly important to understand their consequences on living species. We classify the optical trapping properties of various lab-made microplastics in order to characterize microplastics found in nature.
