Fatigue behaviour of load-bearing polymeric bone scaffolds: A review
This review examines how polymeric bone scaffolds used in tissue engineering perform under repeated mechanical stress, focusing on their fatigue behavior. While not directly about microplastics, the research is relevant because it explores how polymer materials break down under physical stress, which is similar to how plastic products degrade into microplastics in the environment. Understanding polymer fatigue helps explain why plastic materials fragment over time and contribute to micro- and nanoplastic pollution.

Decoupling plasticity- and damage-induced property changes by an elasto-plasticity framework coupled with a data-driven damage evolution model
Despite its title referencing plasticity and damage in materials, this paper studies how microscale void formation and dislocation movement in dual-phase steel affect its mechanical stiffness as it deforms — using "microplasticity" in its engineering sense, not in reference to plastic pollution. It examines the relative contributions of damage and work-hardening to stiffness loss in steel and is not relevant to microplastic contamination or human health.
