Abstract

Abstract : The Cover Feature shows the interplay of polar, non‐polar, and ionic liquid solvents with a polyethylene nanoplastic particle, represented by cats interacting with woolen yarn. Through the solvent, the disentanglement of the nanoplastic and the extraction process can be tuned. More information can be found in the Full Paper by R. Elfgen et al .
