Abstract

Microplastics are a recognised global pollutant, contaminating almost all aspects of our daily life, the detection of which primarily relies on visual inspection. The use of a stable and consistent imaging agent is therefore of paramount importance. In this report, we describe the use of conjugated polymer nanoparticles as staining agents, which can, in specific cases, provide a positive stain up to 30 months after initial marking.

期刊介绍： Environmental Science: Nano serves as a comprehensive and high-impact peer-reviewed source of information on the design and demonstration of engineered nanomaterials for environment-based applications. It also covers the interactions between engineered, natural, and incidental nanomaterials with biological and environmental systems. This scope includes, but is not limited to, the following topic areas: Novel nanomaterial-based applications for water, air, soil, food, and energy sustainability Nanomaterial interactions with biological systems and nanotoxicology Environmental fate, reactivity, and transformations of nanoscale materials Nanoscale processes in the environment Sustainable nanotechnology including rational nanomaterial design, life cycle assessment, risk/benefit analysis
