Polyethylene Identification in Ocean Water Samples by Means of 50 keV Energy Electron Beam

This study presents a new methodology to reveal traces of polyethylene (the most common microplastic particles, known as a structure of C<sub>2</sub>H<sub>4</sub>) in a sample of ocean water by the irradiation of a 50 keV, 1 µA electron beam. This is performed by analyzing th...
