Summary
The aggregation behavior of two sizes of nanoplastic particles in aquatic environments differed depending on the electrical characteristics and concentration of proteins present. Protein coronas altered particle-particle interactions, with implications for nanoplastic fate and transport in natural water systems.
The aggregation of two sizes of nanosized plastic particles in aquatic environments was different in the presence of proteins with various electrical characteristics and concentrations.
