Predicting polyacrylate–microplastic interactions with atomistic simulation

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: , arising from the complex intra- and intermolecular interactions that occur when polyacrylates interface with water and MPs. This expanded understanding of the microscopic features of adhesion can be used to design next-generation adhesives and MP remediation technology.
