The concentrations of adsorbed Pb and PFOS were 4-25% and 20-85% higher in aged MFs and varied among the polymer types. The increased contaminant adsorption was linked with the altered surface area and the hydrophobic/hydrophilic characteristics of the samples. Overall, the present study demonstrates that biofilms play a decisive role in contaminant-plastic interactions and significantly enhance the vector potential of MFs for toxic environmental contaminants. We anticipate that knowledge generated from this study will help refine the planetary risk assessment of MPs.]]> Thu 15 Jun 2023 12:09:35 AEST ]]> Control moisture problems in slurry-based polyolefin operations https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17054 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:02:11 AEDT ]]>
