Microplastic Detection Using Dual-Mode Complementary Split-Ring Resonator
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed a microplastic detection sensor using dual-mode complementary split-ring resonators operating at 2.45 and 5.8 GHz ISM bands, achieving concentration measurements of polyethylene in water with errors under 3.51% across 0–800 ppm ranges. Accurate, low-cost sensing technology like this is essential for real-time environmental monitoring of microplastic levels in water systems before they reach drinking water supplies.

Researchers developed a novel microwave sensing platform for real-time detection and characterization of microplastic particles in water samples. The sensor uses an enhanced coupled planar microwave resonator design with a low-cost disposable sample holder, enabling rapid, non-destructive measurement of microplastic particle size and concentration without cross-contamination between tests.
Detection of microplastics by microfluidic microwave sensing: An exploratory study
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers developed a compact microwave sensor on a microfluidic chip to detect microplastics in water samples. The system works by measuring how the presence of plastic particles changes the electrical properties of water. While the technology shows promise as a rapid and portable detection method, its current sensitivity needs improvement before it can detect the low microplastic concentrations typically found in natural freshwater.

Design optimisation of rare earth metal doped polymer optical planar waveguide sensor for microplastics detection in water
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers simulated a rare-earth-metal-doped polymer optical waveguide sensor using COMSOL Multiphysics, finding that reducing cladding thickness to zero maximized sensitivity by a factor of 10 million compared to a 5 μm cladding design, enabling detection of microplastics in water through refractive index shifts. Advances in miniaturized, highly sensitive optical sensors are critical for real-time, field-deployable monitoring of microplastic contamination in drinking water and aquatic ecosystems.
