Fig. 2: Influence of crystallinity and hydrophobicity on degradation.

From: Ranking environmental degradation trends of plastic marine debris based on physical properties and molecular structure

Fig. 2

Computational LogP(SA)-1 values versus a enthalpy of melting for abiotic hydrolysis, b enthalpy of melting for biotic processes, c % crystallinity for abiotic hydrolysis, d % crystallinity for biotic processes. Size of circles and color corresponds to surface erosion in mg cm−2 day−1 in artificial seawater.
