Key Points

This research aims to develop quality control materials that mimic nanoplastic contaminants found in the environment and food.
Used fractionation techniques to separate test materials
Employed light scattering to measure particle size
Utilized high-resolution microscopy for detailed imaging
Applied spectroscopy and spectrometry for compositional analysis
Developed reference materials with properties similar to environmental nanoplastics
Characterized materials using multiple advanced analytical techniques
Found significant gaps in current quality control resources for nanoplastics

Implication

Multiparameter analysis characterizes nanoplastic materials, indicating a need for quality control standards.

Abstract

Reference and quality control materials with comparable physicochemical properties to nanoplastic contaminants present in environmental and food nanoplastics are currently lacking.
