A new study, published in Marine Pollution Bulletin, has found the waters of the North Atlantic gyre contain greater quantities of plastic, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, acrylic, and polyamide, whereas other offshore locations are more associated with PVC and polystyrene.
Luminescent thermometers become progressively essential for remote, non-invasive temperature sensing at particularly small lateral dimensions, as contact-based detection methods only function in a partial way or even not at all. Standard application areas are temperature recording on catalytic surfaces or in biomedical procedures.
