The Proposal and Necessity of the Numerical Description of Nano- and Microplastics’ Surfaces (Plastisphere)
The constantly growing amount of synthetic materials < 5 mm, called microplastics (MPs), is fragmented in the environment. Thus, their surface, Plastisphere, is substantially increasing forming an entirely new ecological niche. It has already been extensively studied by microbiologists observing...
