Figure Lengend Snippet: Fourier transform infrared spectra (4000–650 cm −1 ) of ( a ) PS, ( b ) PA, ( c ) PE, and ( d ) PET MPs after photo-irradiation for 0, 7, and 14 d. The number of samples for the repeated experiments is n = 3.
Article Snippet: To evaluate the possible surface changes of MPs after photoaging, four types of MPs were measured in the wavelength range 4000–650 cm −1 using Fourier transform infrared microscopy spectroscopy (FTIR, Spotlight 200i, PerkinElmer, OH, USA) for both pristine MPs and differently photoaged MPs.
