Characterization of Microplastics using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)
2018
Erin Ashline
Summary
Researchers used Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), a technique that identifies materials by how they absorb light, to characterize microplastics — tiny plastic particles less than 5mm in size. This student poster work contributes to developing better methods for detecting and identifying microplastic pollution in environmental samples.
