Analysis of microplastic in environmental samples using thermal analytical methods

2016
Braun, Ulrike

Summary

This conference presentation summarized thermal analytical methods available for detecting and quantifying microplastics in environmental samples, covering polymer types, phases, morphology, density, and analysis options. Thermal methods offer mass-based quantification of microplastics that complements optical and spectroscopic techniques.

The presentation addresses first general aspects of polymers and polymers in environment (definitions, types, phases, morphology, density) and than summarise the possibilities of analysis.
