Stress drives polymer phase separation and microplastic release

2024-02-14

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Microplastic release from semicrystalline plastics threaten the environment and human health. We investigated polypropylene and polyethylene plastics, which together account for 54% of the global market. Mimicking common levels of residual stress found in plastics via cantilever beam experiments, we demonstrated that compressive stress drives nano and microscale segregation of amorphous...
