Title

Polystyrene interaction with model membranes

Abstract

Micro e nanoplastic fragments are expected to persist in the marine environment for centuries, with toxic effects on living organisms. Characterizing the interaction of plastic nanoparticles and polymers with membranes is the first step towards the understanding of the physical and chemical basis for their toxicity. Nonetheless, so far, only computational studies with molecular resolution have investigated the effects of nanoplastics and polymers on model cell membranes. Our aim is to study the interaction of polystyrene with different biomimetic model membranes by neutron reflectometry to investigate the disposition of polymer chains in the lipid core as a function of their length and mole fraction.
