From Micro‐ to Macroplasticity
This materials science perspective discusses the transition from microplastic deformation (below the yield stress) to macroplastic deformation in nanocrystalline metals, noting that the traditional 0.2% yield stress definition does not accurately capture when bulk plastic flow begins. This is a materials physics study on metal deformation behavior with no relevance to environmental microplastics.

Probing Microplasticity in Small-Scale FCC Crystals via Dynamic Mechanical Analysis
This study used dynamic mechanical analysis to study pre-yield dislocation activity — tiny structural movements — in small-scale face-centered cubic metal crystals. It is a materials science paper on nanoscale metal plasticity with no connection to environmental microplastics.
Fluctuations in crystalline plasticity
This theoretical physics paper reviews the statistical patterns of intermittent plastic deformation events—called dislocation avalanches—in crystalline metals at the micro- and nanoscale. The term 'microplastic' here refers to a materials science concept about deformation behavior, not environmental plastic particles.
