Stress-induced phase separation in plastics drives the release of amorphous polymer micropollutants into water

Abstract Residual stress is an intrinsic property of semicrystalline plastics such as polypropylene and polyethylene. However, there is no fundamental understanding of the role intrinsic residual stress plays in the generation of plastic pollutants that threaten the environment and human health. Her...
