Table 4 Interaction energies (\(\Delta E_{int}\)), reorganization energies for the plastic particle (\(\Delta E_{reorg}^{NP}\)) and tetracycline (\(\Delta E_{reorg}^{TC}\)), sorption energies (\(\Delta E_{ads}\)) and accessible surface area of tetracycline (\(A_{asa}^{TC}\)) for the most stable obtained tetracycline-nanoplastic aggregates. All energies are given in kcal mol\(^{-1}\).
