The chemical structure of the rLLDPE and sLLDPE was confirmed by using the Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR). The Vertex 70 FTIR spectrometer was equipped with HYPERION™ series microscope (Bruker Optik GmbH, Ettlingen, Germany). The thermal DSC analysis (Perkin Elmer DSC 4000) was programmed to include a heating zone between 30 and 350°C at a heating rate of 10°C/min, and Nitrogen was used as the purging gas. The surface morphology and elemental analysis were analyzed by SEM–EDX mapping (ZEISS EVO 15 microscope). The sponge surfaces were pre-coated with a thin gold layer in order to reduce charging in the SEM.
Evo 15 microscope
Manufactured by Zeiss
The EVO 15 is a high-performance scanning electron microscope (SEM) manufactured by Zeiss. It is designed to provide detailed, high-resolution images of a wide range of samples. The EVO 15 utilizes an electron beam to scan the surface of a sample, generating images that reveal the sample's topography and composition. This microscope is suitable for various applications, including materials science, nanotechnology, and life sciences research.

The identification of microplastics was confirmed through DSC measurements using a PerkinElmer DSC 4000 instrument. Each extracted substance, weighing 3.0 mg, was analyzed in an aluminum crucible under a nitrogen atmosphere with a temperature range of 30–350 °C and a heating rate of 10 °C per minute. The surface morphology of the Ir-(rLLDPE) sponges was examined using a ZEISS EVO 15 microscope, and the elemental distribution was investigated through coupled SEM/EDX mapping analysis using a BRUKER Nano GmbH 410-M instrument.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
