Abstract
    Since the 1950s plastic production has exponentially increased. Different expeditions have sampled microplastics in all the world’s oceans in order to better know this pollution. However, a large amount of plastic particles is collected during all campaigns, such as during the Tara Mediterranean Sea campaign. And, methods developed to analyse them are time-consuming. So, how to work to chemically characterize samples from large libraries?
