Summary
This methods paper describes a combined approach using spectroscopy, microscopy, and profilometry to physically and chemically characterize environmentally relevant microplastic samples. Combining multiple analytical techniques provides a more complete picture of microplastic properties than any single method alone.
Environmental pollution related to microplastics (MPs) is a growing concern across the globe.
