Journal ArticleDOI
Surface properties of beached plastic pellets.
TL;DR: Eroded and virgin polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) pellets were studied for their surface properties to better understand the interaction between plastic and compounds in marine environment.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Polyethylene terephthalate bottles collected from the submarine environment were characterized using ATR-FTIR in respect to their degradation potential attributed to environmental conditions and PETs seem to remain robust for approximately fifteen years.
Book ChapterDOI
Degradation of Various Plastics in the Environment
TL;DR: In this paper, the degradation of polyethylene, polypropylene, and polyethylenes terephthalate (PET) is studied and shown to be a dynamic situation with continuous changing parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface properties of beached plastics
TL;DR: These surface properties were obtained due to degradation and could be used to explain the interaction between plastics, microbes, and pollutants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and Characterization of Biochar Sorbents Produced from Malt Spent Rootlets
TL;DR: In this article, the surface area, microporosity, suspension pH, acid base behavior, and functional groups on MSR surface were characterized for different pyrolysis temperatures.
