Governance Strategies for Mitigating Microplastic Pollution in the Marine Environment: A Review

Amarachi Paschaline Onyena, Donald Aniche, Bright Ogbolu et al. · 2 Dec 2021

Threats emerging from microplastic pollution in the marine environment have received much global attention. This review assessed sources, fate, and impacts of microplastics in marine ecosystems and identified gaps. Most studies document the ubiquity of microplastics and associated environmental effects. Effects include impacts to marine ecosystems, risks to biodiversity, and threats to human health. Microplastic…

End-of-Life of Composite Materials in the Framework of the Circular Economy

Georgia Chatziparaskeva, Iliana Papamichael, Irene Voukkali et al. · 20 Jul 2022

Composite materials constitute an appealing choice in many industrial sectors, due to their unique composition and characteristics, such as low maintenance requirements, light weight, corrosion resistance, and durability. However, the sustainable management of end-of-life composite materials remains a challenge. Recovery strategies, design aspects, and their interconnection are currently largely unexplored, while technologies involved in the…

Recent Advances in Microplastics Removal from Water with Special Attention Given to Photocatalytic Degradation: Review of Scientific Research

Nicolás Alejandro Sacco, Fernanda Miranda Zoppas, Alejandra Devard et al. · 4 Sep 2023

Microplastic pollution has become a global environmental concern with detrimental effects on ecosystems and human health. Effective removal of microplastics from water sources is crucial to mitigate their impacts. Advanced oxidative processes (AOPs) have emerged as promising strategies for the degradation and elimination of microplastics. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the application of…

Microplastics: A Review of Policies and Responses

Davi R. Munhoz, Paula Harkes, Nicolas Bériot et al. · 23 Dec 2022

Although (micro)plastic contamination is a worldwide concern, most scientific literature only restates that issue rather than presenting strategies to cope with it. This critical review assembles the current knowledge on policies and responses to tackle plastic pollution, including peer-reviewed scientific literature, gray literature and relevant reports to provide: (1) a timeline of policies directly or…

Quantification of Microplastics by Pyrolysis Coupled with Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry in Sediments: Challenges and Implications

Nadia Bouzid, Christelle Anquetil, Rachid Dris et al. · 28 Mar 2022

Pyrolysis-GC/MS is increasingly used to quantify microplastics (MP) in environmental samples. In general, prior to analysis, purification steps are carried out to reduce the environmental matrix in sediment samples. The conventionally used protocol of density separation followed by digestion of organic matter does not allow for complete isolation of MP from the associated organic and…

Microplastics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Microplastics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Microplastics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official MDPI format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Microplastics use?
Microplastics uses Numbered (MDPI) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. Microplastics 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Microplastics?
No. DocuGuru generates the mdpi LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a MDPI-ready Microplastics document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Microplastics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Microplastics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Microplastics?
Microplastics - MDPI Journal. It is a multidisciplinary journal, published by MDPI.
Can I export a submission-ready Microplastics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Microplastics template (the mdpi class) that is ready to submit to MDPI, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
