Microplastic (MP) contaminates terrestrial, aquatic, and atmospheric environments. Although
the number of river sampling studies with regard to MP concentrations is increasing …

Terminal settling velocity of around 600 microplastic particles, ranging from 0.5 to 5 mm, of
three regular shapes was measured in a series of sink experiments: Polycaprolactone …

All naturally occurring and most man-made solid particles are nonspherical. Examples
include air-pollutants in the nano-to micro-meter range as well as blood constituents, drug …

Vertical dynamics of microplastics (MPs) in the water column are complex and not fully
understood due to the diversity of environmental MPs and the impact of weathering and …

Microfibres are one of the most ubiquitous particulate pollutants, occurring in all
environmental compartments. They are often assumed to be microplastics, but include …

Microplastic fibres are the most abundant microplastics in waterways worldwide. The settling
of fibres is distinct from other particles because of their aspect ratio and shape. In this paper …

The settling process of marine microplastics (MPs) is crucial research concerning the
transport and movement of MPs. The settling processes of MP fibers that possess a …

Ceramic fiber aerogels are attractive thermal insulating materials. In a thermomechanical
coupling environment, however, they often show limited mechanical strength and …

Microplastic fibers (MPFs) are one of the most important MP contaminants of aquatic
environments. However, little research has been conducted on the movement of …

The settling dynamics of a rigid ellipsoid in an unbounded viscoelastic fluid under inertialess
conditions is studied through direct numerical simulations. The governing equations are …
