PhD project: Wavelength-dependent fluorescence properties and fluorescence decay times of plastics with variable filler and additive concentrations for reliable identification of meso- and microplastics in different accompanying matrices.
The input of microplastic particles into the environment and their negative impact on the respective ecosystems are currently important areas of research. Above all, ecological risk assessment, which is based on the measurement of plastic type, size and shape, is an extremely important tool for assessing the impacts. For this purpose, microplastic particles are extracted from environmental samples and classified using common analytical methods. The process from sample collection to results takes several days, with purification taking the most time.
The overall objective of the project is to test the methodology of frequency-domain fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FD-FLIM) for the identification of microplastic particles in defined environmental matrices. Fluorescence decay time imaging has the advantage that plastic type, shape and size could be detected simultaneously. In order to find out the limitations of FD-FLIM for the direct identification of microplastics in the environment, various investigations will show during the project. In particular, it will be tested whether different plastic types can be identified by FD-FLIM, what influence fillers, additives and biofilms have on the fluorescence decay time and whether the plastics can be distinguished from various environmental materials.
