mikroplastine
Mikroplastine is a hypothetical polymeric agent proposed in speculative literature as a material capable of interacting with microplastics in aquatic environments. The term combines mikro- from micro and plastine from plastic, signaling its intended use. In concept, mikroplastine would consist of a modular architecture with a hydrophobic binding core complemented by functional groups designed to recognize common plastic surfaces, enabling adhesion to polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystyrene.
Proposed mechanisms include hydrophobic interactions, π-π stacking with aromatic additives on plastic surfaces, and reversible cross-linking that
Development status: The idea is speculative and has not been demonstrated in established experimental settings. There
Design and regulatory considerations would include selectivity, regeneration capacity, material compatibility, and thorough environmental risk assessment
