Summary

A combination of field-flow fractionation and single-particle ICP-MS was used to characterize composite particles containing metal nanoparticles in a polymer matrix, simulating what happens when plastic particles age in the environment and accumulate metals. This analytical approach helps reveal the complex chemical nature of weathered microplastics.

Composite particles containing metallic nanoparticles in a polymer matrix, which simulate environmentally-transformed nanoparticles, are effectively characterized by combining field-flow fractionation with single particle ICP-MS.
