This set of spectral descriptors was designed for the purpose of detecting the polymers polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (
Microplastic data were collected for two material types: PET (polyethylene terephthalate) and expanded polystyrene (EPS) in sizes of 500, 1000, and 1500 micrometers. Measurements were performed using
This dataset supports the publication: "Assessing the effectiveness of microplastic extraction methods on fishmeal with different properties" by C Way, M D. Hudson, I Williams, G. Langleyc, R Mars, An
One key step studying interactions of microplastics with our ecological system is to identify plastics within environmental samples. Aging processes and surface contamination especially with biofilms
