a Effect of particle size on the Langmuir adsorption coefficient KL for adsorption of B[a]P to MNPs of the same polymer type. b Plot of the dependency of KL on BET surface areas of MNPs. c Effect of TPU’s hard (aliphatic and aromatic) and soft (polyester or polyether) segments on KL. Error bars represent the standard error of KL (*: significantly different (p < 0.05), n.s. = not significant at *)
