Ultraviolet aging of polyethylene microbeads and cadmium (Cd2+) uptake in water: surface morphology, kinetics, and isotherm analysis

Polyethylene (PE) microbeads were subjected to three months of ultraviolet (UV) aging and evaluated for surface transformation and cadmium (Cd²⁺) uptake in aqueous solution. Scanning electron microscopy analysis showed that UV-aged microbeads developed pronounced surfaces, roughening with cracks and...
