ClearLow temperature impact toughness of the main gas pipeline steel after long-term degradation
This engineering study examined how long-term in-service degradation affects the low-temperature fracture toughness of gas pipeline steel, finding correlations between microstructure changes and reduced impact resistance over time. This is an industrial materials science study with no relevance to microplastic pollution.
Cleavage fracture micromechanisms in thick-section quenched and tempered S690 high-strength steels
Researchers studied how thick, high-strength steel plates crack at the microscale under extreme cold, finding that clusters of niobium-rich inclusions were the key weak points triggering fracture. This materials science research has no direct connection to microplastics but informs structural safety in industrial applications involving heavy steel components.
Degradation of the Main Gas Pipeline Material and Mechanisms of Its Fracture
This Ukrainian engineering study evaluated how long-term in-service operation causes structural degradation in gas pipeline steel, examining the role of hydrogen absorption in reducing mechanical properties and accelerating damage accumulation. This is an industrial materials science study with no relevance to microplastic pollution.

Dislocation Arrangements and Cyclic Microplasticity Surrounding Stress Concentration in a Ni‐Based Single‐Crystal Superalloy
Not relevant to microplastics — this materials science study examines dislocation behavior and fatigue crack initiation in nickel-based single-crystal superalloys; 'microplasticity' here refers to microscale metal deformation, not plastic particles.
Exploring the effect of complex hierarchic microstructure of quenched and partitioned martensitic stainless steels on their high cycle fatigue behaviour
Not relevant to microplastics — this paper investigates high cycle fatigue behavior of quenched-and-partitioned martensitic stainless steels, exploring how their complex retained-austenite microstructure affects fatigue fracture performance.
Stability of retained austenite in high carbon steel under compressive stress: an investigation from macro to nano scale
This materials science study investigates how retained austenite in high-carbon steel behaves under compressive stress at both macro and nano scales, using electron microscopy and diffraction techniques.
