Key Points

  • To evaluate fluorescently labelled polypropylene as a model microplastic for cellular studies.
  • Covalent functionalisation of polypropylene with rhodamine B
  • Microplastic evaluation in a human embryonic kidney model cell line
  • Standardised polymer–cell studies in biological systems
  • Polypropylene successfully labelled with rhodamine B
  • Demonstrated utility in cellular imaging
  • Enabled novel insights into polymer–cell interactions

Abstract

The covalent functionalisation of polypropylene with the fluorescent label rhodamine B and its subsequent microplastic evaluation in a human embryonic kidney model cell line, enabling standardised polymer–cell studies in biological systems.
