Journal ArticleDOI
Fast identification of microplastics in complex environmental samples by a thermal degradation method.
Erik Dümichen,Paul Eisentraut,Claus Gerhard Bannick,Anne-Kathrin Barthel,Rainer Senz,Ulrike Braun +5 more
TL;DR: A new thermoanalytical method was developed as a first step for identifying microplastics in environmental samples and quantification measurements will follow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of different methods for MP detection: What can we learn from them, and why asking the right question before measurements matters?
Anna Maria Elert,Roland Becker,E. Duemichen,Paul Eisentraut,Jana Falkenhagen,Heinz Sturm,Ulrike Braun +6 more
TL;DR: A critical evaluation of two vibrational spectroscopies, Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and two extraction methods showed that in designing and selecting the right methodology, the scientific question that determines what needs to be understood is significant, and should be considered carefully prior to analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two Birds with One Stone—Fast and Simultaneous Analysis of Microplastics: Microparticles Derived from Thermoplastics and Tire Wear
Paul Eisentraut,Erik Dümichen,Aki Sebastian Ruhl,Martin Jekel,Mirko Albrecht,Michael Gehde,Ulrike Braun +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the analysis of tire wear (TW) content in environmental samples has been possible, which includes characteristic decomposition products of elastomers, antioxidants, and vulcanization agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automated thermal extraction-desorption gas chromatography mass spectrometry: A multifunctional tool for comprehensive characterization of polymers and their degradation products.
TL;DR: It is now shown that automated TED-GC-MS represents a new flexible multi-functional method for comprehensive polymer analyses and good linearity for the most important precursors for microplastic, even complex matrix materials (suspended particulate matter) can be successfully analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tire and road wear particles in road environment - Quantification and assessment of particle dynamics by Zn determination after density separation.
Philipp Klöckner,Thorsten Reemtsma,Paul Eisentraut,Ulrike Braun,Aki Sebastian Ruhl,Stephan Wagner +5 more
TL;DR: Differences in quantified TRWP contents of the two systems indicate changes in particle dynamics due to ageing and aggregation processes and allows TRWP determination in road runoff and in environments that are influenced by road traffic.
