Analyzing microplastics (MPs) in real environmental matrices requires the unambiguous identification of particlesto distinguish them from particles of biogenic origin, such as particulate organic ...

FTIR microspectroscopy facilitates chemical analysis on small sample areas, but samples are not always small - the areas of interest may be small portions of large samples. It is not always possible ...

DRIFTS is routinely used in quality control applications, materials characterization, and catalytic studies in industrial and research settings. However, optimal instrument setup and sample ...
