Summary

Researchers developed a controlled method for producing microplastic particles in the micrometer size range using a pin-on-disc wear machine, allowing laboratory studies to use particles with consistent, well-characterized shapes and compositions. Standardized test particles like these are essential for producing reliable and comparable data on how microplastics affect living organisms.

This study aimed to develop a method for producing microplastics in the micrometre range for various biological tests, where the morphology and constituents of the microplastics were guaranteed. The proposed production system was a pin-on-disc wear machine, where a...
