New publication in Trends in Analytical Chemistry: Sorption of organic substances to tire wear materials: Similarities and differences with other types of microplastic

21.03.19

Publication

Tire materials are a significant proportion of the (micro)plastics in the environment that until today have been clearly overlooked. These materials are released into the environment, either unintentionally as an abrasion product from tire wear, that reaches the environment via ...

New publication in Environmental Pollution: Characterization of sorption properties of high-density polyethylene using the poly-parameter linearfree-energy relationships

25.02.19

Publication

High-density polyethylene (HDPE) is a known sorbent for non-ionic organic compounds in technical applications. Nevertheless, there is little information available describing sorption to industrial HDPE for a broad range of compounds. With a better understanding of the sorption properties of ...
