Summary

Researchers investigated how protein coatings (coronas) that form on quantum dot nanoparticles affect their interactions with nanoplastics in the environment. These particle-particle interactions can alter how both quantum dots and nanoplastics behave, move, and accumulate in biological systems.

QDs after protein coronation can undergo sequential interaction with other pollutants which may alter the physiochemical property of the QDs and influence the stability of the corona proteins.
