In this paper, degradation mechanisms of optical materials, used in the light emitting diode
(LED)-based products, are reviewed. The LED lighting is one of the fastest technology shifts …

Transformation of microplastics in aquatic environments and engineered systems (eg,
wastewater treatment plants) significantly affects their transport, fate and effects. Here, we …

The accelerated use of plastic products for agricultural practices has raised global concern
regarding their negative impacts on soil health. This study aims to better understand the …

Degradation mechanisms of modified nano carbon black (CB)-epoxy coatings were
investigated under condition of UV irradiation. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and …

The environmental degradation mechanisms of epoxy–organoclay nanocomposites due to
accelerated UV and moisture exposure are studied. Various characterisation tools, including …

China government has implemented regulations to completely ban the use of disposable
plastics with about 54 million kt, resulting in tremendous controversies about non …

Modern optical applications need solutions for providing polymer surfaces with antireflective
properties. The problems involved in coating comprise thermal limitations, incompatible …

The barrier performance of silane/clay nanocomposites as a coating material on concrete
structure has been evaluated under different accelerated weathering tests, including …

In this investigation, the degradation mechanisms of Bisphenol A Polycarbonate (BPA–PC)
plates under blue light radiation are studied. The BPA–PC plates are used both in light …

Plastic, once a revolutionary material, has progressively converted into a global
environmental threat possessing ubiquitous distribution, with microplastics (MPs) pollution …
