UVA-induced weathering of microplastics in seawater: surface property transformations and kinetics

During environmental migration, large plastic fragments can undergo degradation into microplastics (MPs), posing a significant threat to ecosystems. A research gap exists in understanding how MPs age in complex environments. We modeled aging by integrating an aging index with degradation kinetics. T...
