Top-down synthesis of luminescent microplastics and nanoplastics by incorporation of upconverting nanoparticles for environmental assessment
Summary
Researchers synthesized luminescent polyethylene microplastic and nanoplastic model particles using a top-down approach by incorporating upconverting nanoparticles, producing irregularly shaped particles similar to environmental samples that are trackable under 980 nm near-infrared irradiation for environmental assessment applications.
Polyethylene model particle is synthesized by a top-down approach with effective incorporation of upconverting nanoparticles. The particles with irregular shapes, similar to those found in the environment, are trackable under 980 nm irradiation.
