Implementation of Raman spectroscopy on micro- and nano-plastic analysis in the SMSC lab – Collaborative mission at the CNR-ICPF NanoSoftLab
Alexandra Foetisch, a researcher at TU Darmstadt’s Soil Mineralogy and Soil Chemistry (SMSC) Lab, has returned from a productive Short-Term Scientific Mission (STSM) at the NanoSoftLab of Italy’s CNR-ICPF, where she learned the application of Raman spectroscopy techniques for micro- and nanoplastic analysis. This collaborative mission, made possible through the PRIORITY COST Action, aimed to add state-of-the-art Raman scattering methods to TU Darmstadt’s tools allowing to identify and analyze environmental micro- and nanoplastics.
