The project goals are to establish and fine-tune an effective sample pre-treatment and preparation method to separate heterogeneous nanoplastic samples, to establish a novel library of thermal analysis data collected from multi-component mixtures of model nanoplastics commonly found in Canadian environmental samples, to validate nanoplastics test protocols using both spiked and real-world samples, and ultimately to identify and quantitatively analyze nanoplastics in Canadian waterbodies., description french : Développement de méthodes pour séparer et caractériser les nanoplastiques qui serviront de matériaux de référence, expected results english : In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems., expected results french : À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides., additional information english : This agreement has been amended 1 time(s).
