Natural polymers such as those present in foods contain abundant noncovalent intra- and intermolecular interactions, notably hydrogen bonds, which make them rigid when dry, but on exposure to water soften, due to disruption of these interactions. This soft ...

Marine transport of plastic fragments from dolly ropes used in demersal fisheries in the North Sea

Florence Marie Renée Cuttat

Dolly ropes (DR) are used in beamtrawling and other types of fishing to protect the nets from being ripped by the sea bottom. They constitute an important source of plastic pollution in the regions where this type of fishing prevails. The aim of this proje ...

Toxicity assessment of pollutants sorbed on microplastics using various bioassays on two fish cell lines

Luiz Felippe De Alencastro, Florian Faure, Frédéric Sciacca

Microplastics are tiny plastic fragments resulted from runoff and weathering breakdown of larger plastics debris. They represent an emerging concern for marine ecosystems. Microplastics impacts on aquatic life are little studied. These small particles coul ...
