The Effects of Deep Cryogenic Treatment with Regard to the Mechanical Properties and Microstructural Evolution of Al-Mg Alloys with Different Grain Sizes

Deep cryogenic treatment (exposing materials to very low temperatures) was studied for its effects on microplastic mechanical properties, finding changes in brittleness and fragmentation tendency. Understanding how temperature extremes affect plastic degradation informs predictions of microplastic generation in cold environments.

Low Amplitude Nonlinear Damping and Effective Modulus in Magnesium Alloys Containing Long-Period Stacking Ordered Structures

Despite its title referencing "microplasticity" (a materials science term for microscale deformation in metals), this paper studies the mechanical damping properties of magnesium alloys — not microplastic pollution. It examines elastic modulus and vibration damping in metal alloys at low temperatures, and is entirely unrelated to microplastics or environmental health.
