ClearDislocation 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.
Strain localization in the Alloy 718 Ni-based superalloy: From room temperature to 650 °C
This study investigates how a nickel-based superalloy deforms at different temperatures using high-resolution imaging techniques. The paper is not related to microplastics or human health. It focuses on the mechanical behavior of metal alloys used in engineering applications, examining how strain localizes in the material's internal structure at temperatures up to 650 degrees Celsius.
Effect of Cyclic Ice Plug Deformation on Microstructure and Mechanical Behaviors of Nuclear-Grade Low-Carbon Tubular Steel

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.

Transformation Kinetics, Microplasticity and Aging of Martensite in FE-31 Ni.
This materials science study examines microplastic behavior in iron-nickel martensite alloys, finding that stress-induced phase transformation produces unusually large microplastic strains. The term 'microplasticity' refers to small-scale plastic deformation in metals and is not related to environmental plastic pollution.
Micromechanical aspects of the effect of temperature and local plastic strain magnitude on the fracture toughness of ferrite steels
This materials science study examined how temperature and plastic strain affect the fracture toughness of ferrite steels at the microscopic scale. The term 'microplastic' here refers to microscopic plastic deformation in metal — this is an engineering study unrelated to plastic particle 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.
In-situ neutron diffraction study of lattice deformation behaviour of commercially pure titanium at cryogenic temperature
Researchers used neutron diffraction — a technique that tracks how atomic structures stretch under stress — to study how commercially pure titanium deforms at extremely cold temperatures down to near absolute zero. They found that more twinning (a type of crystal rearrangement) at lower temperatures helps explain why titanium becomes surprisingly more ductile in cryogenic conditions.

Researchers characterized the mechanical and microstructural properties of three grades of ultra-high-purity aluminum across temperatures from room temperature down to -180°C, finding that microstructural features strongly govern elastic behavior and that these materials are suitable for vibration-damping thermal connections in cryogenic systems.
The Influence of Crystallographic Orientation and Grain Boundary on Nanoindentation Behavior of Inconel 718 Superalloy Based on Crystal Plasticity Theory
Researchers used computer simulations based on crystal plasticity theory to model how the microscopic grain structure and orientation of a nickel superalloy (Inconel 718) affects its mechanical behavior under nanoindentation — a tiny probe pressing into the surface. The results show that grain boundaries and crystal orientation strongly influence local stress patterns even when the overall force-displacement response looks similar.
