• The physical impacts of microplastics on marine organisms: a review. (2013, background): “The rate of biofouling depends on parameters such as surface energy and hardness of the polymer, as well as water conditions (Muthukumar et al., 2011).”
• Microplastics in the marine environment. (2011, background): “Floating plastics will readily develop extensive surface fouling, rapidly covering the debris surface first with a biofilm followed by an algal mat and then a colony of invertebrates (Muthukumar et al., 2011).”
