Comparative Study of the Impregnability of High-Strength Glass and Basalt Fibers
AI summary Read the abstract
This materials engineering paper studies the impregnation properties of glass and basalt fibers with epoxy resins for composite material manufacturing; the term 'microplastics' here refers to small fiber-reinforced plastic composite specimens, not environmental pollutants. It has no relevance to microplastic pollution or human health.
Comparative studies of the impregnability of high-strength and basalt fibers, treated and untreated by emulsions of film-formers, by epoxy binders with different curing agents were conducted. Differences in the surface treatment of high-strength and basalt fibers were found by determining the impregnation along the height of capillary rise of the binder. The effect of surface treatment on the change in strength of the tested filaments and microplastics based on them was determined.

Realization of the strength of Armos fibres with different acidity in epoxy plastics
AI summary Read the abstract
The acidity of Armos aramid fibers significantly affects their strength realization in microplastic composites, with an optimal moisture content existing for each fiber pH level that maximizes both fiber strength and adhesive bond performance. Optimizing fiber-matrix interfaces in polymer composites to maximize strength retention is directly relevant to reducing mechanical degradation and microplastic generation from composite plastic materials.
Effect of Irradiation on the Strength Properties of Polyethylene-Matrix Glass-Reinforced Plastics
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers studied how radiation exposure affects the strength of glass fiber-reinforced plastic composites, finding that irradiation initially weakens the material but can form new chemical bonds between the polymer matrix and glass fibers at higher doses in vacuum. This work concerns industrial materials rather than environmental microplastic pollution.
Physical-mechanical properties of andesite-dacite fibers and their modifications
AI summary Read the abstract
Andesite-dacite volcanic rock fibers were characterized for elastic and mechanical properties, showing strength characteristics comparable to non-alkaline glass and basaltic fibers when fabricated into unidirectional composite microplastics. This materials characterization study of mineral fiber composites is unrelated to environmental microplastic pollution or health impacts.
Study of moisture absorption by an organoplastic
AI summary Read the abstract
A comprehensive study of moisture absorption in unidirectionally reinforced organoplastic composites found the process follows Fickian diffusion with sorbed moisture distributed in strongly and weakly bound states, enabling a hierarchical calculation method from component to laminate level. This characterization framework supports reliable prediction of moisture-induced property changes in aramid fiber composites for structural applications.
Determination of Shear Strength at the Fiber–Matrix Interface in an Organic Plastic
AI summary Read the abstract
