Originální abstrakt

Exposure of plastics to certain natural conditions and influences such as mechanical abrasion, exposure to light, or biological effect (e.g., krill exposure) can cause degradation and the original plastic begins to form smaller particles, microplastics and also nanoplastics [1, 2]. Micro- and nanoplastics can subsequently contaminate and interact with all environmental compartments. Furthermore, their ability to bioaccumulate in the food chain or affect soil health and quality has been observed [3]. Some studies have shown that the size and shape of the particles studied may have an important influence on the behaviour of micro- and nanoplastics in the environment [2,4]. To study the negative environmental impacts of micro and nanoplastics, it is necessary to find a method which will be able to produce PET particles of different shapes and sizes while not inducing significant changes in particle properties. These particles will then be useful for studying the effects of micro and nanoplastics in the environment [5]. The aim of this study was to test various commonly known or published in the literature methods of physical and chemical preparation of micro and nanoplastics (such as dissolution and subsequent precipitation, cryomilling or laser ablation). Subsequently, some of the properties of these particles were tested and the suitability of the tested procedures for further use was assessed.
