ClearWear of ceramic-based dental materials
Researchers compared wear rates and failure mechanisms of several ceramic-based dental materials using a laboratory test simulating chewing contact, finding that zirconia showed the lowest wear and lithium disilicate the highest, with microcracking and microplasticity (small-scale plastic deformation) identified as the key material-removal mechanisms.
The effect of heat flow from friction forces on the surface of the billets
This engineering study examined how friction-generated heat affects the surface of ceramic billets during grinding operations. The paper is an industrial manufacturing study and is not related to microplastics or environmental health.
On the Formation and Characterization of Nanoplastics During Surface Wear Processes
Researchers characterized nanoplastic particle generation during surface wear processes, finding that mechanical abrasion of bulk plastic materials produces a broad size distribution of particles including sub-100 nm fragments, with surface wear rate depending on polymer hardness and contact conditions.
A Microplasticity Analysis of Micro-Cutting Force Variation in Ultra-Precision Diamond Turning
This ultra-precision machining engineering paper developed a microplasticity model to predict how cutting forces vary with the crystallographic orientation of aluminum when machined with diamond tools. This is a precision manufacturing study where 'microplasticity' refers to sub-yield material deformation, not environmental microplastic particles.
Dynamic Processes of Substructural Rearrangement under Friction of Carbon Steel
This study examined how heat treatment affects the friction and wear properties of medium carbon steel, linking material microstructure to tribological performance. The research is focused on materials engineering with limited direct relevance to microplastic pollution or human health.
Subsurface mechanical damage correlations after grinding of various optical materials

Influence of hard phase size and spacing on the fatigue crack propagation in tool steels—Numerical simulation and experimental validation
Not relevant to microplastics research; this paper investigates how carbide size and spacing in tool steel microstructures affects fatigue crack growth rate, with no connection to plastic pollution.
Fatigue of Yttria‐Stabilized Zirconia: II, Crack Propagation, Fatigue Striations, and Short‐Crack Behavior
This materials science study examines fatigue crack propagation in yttria-stabilized zirconia ceramic, establishing a growth law based on stress intensity factors to predict fatigue lifetime. The term 'microplastic' in this paper refers to microscale plastic deformation in ceramics and is unrelated to environmental plastic pollution.
Role of Grain Boundary Sliding in Texture Evolution for Nanoplasticity
This materials science paper presents a crystal plasticity model for how grain boundary sliding affects texture evolution in nanocrystalline metals under large deformation. It is a technical metallurgy study with no connection to microplastics or environmental health.
Effect of Scratch Velocity on Deformation Features of C-plane Sapphire during Nanoscratching
This engineering study examined how the speed of a nanoscratching tool affects the deformation and cracking of sapphire crystal surfaces. This is a materials science study focused on advanced ceramics manufacturing with no relevance to microplastic pollution.
Tribo-driven evolution of specific nano-heterostructures to achieve exceptional wear resistance in composites
This materials science study investigated wear behavior in a NiAlTa/cBN composite produced by spark plasma sintering, finding that tribologically driven formation of specific nano-heterostructures in the wear surface produced an extremely low wear rate and reduced friction coefficient.
Influence of Feed Rate Response (FRR) on Chip Formation in Micro and Macro Machining of Al Alloy
This engineering paper studied chip formation in aluminum alloy machining at micro and macro scales to understand material removal mechanics. This manufacturing research is unrelated to microplastic environmental research.
