Understanding plastic degradation and microplastic formation in the environment: A review

Kai Zhang et al.

Summary: Plastic waste pollution is a global issue that poses a potential threat to ecosystems and human health, but knowledge on plastic environmental degradation and microplastic formation is still limited. Future research should further study the key factors influencing plastic degradation to predict the fate of plastics in different environments.

A Review on Graphene's Light Stabilizing Effects for Reduced Photodegradation of Polymers

Samira Karimi et al.

Summary: Graphene has been proven to be highly efficient in improving the resistance of polymers against photodegradation, mainly due to its unique geometry and chemistry. This protective role involves mechanisms such as UV absorption, free radical scavenging, and quenching, making graphene potentially stronger in antioxidant effect compared to rGO and GO. Additionally, graphene's high surface area and 2D geometry contribute to UV screening and oxygen barriers, enhancing its protective capabilities.
