The presence of microscopic fine plastic particles (FPPs) in aquatic environments continues to be a societal issue of great concern. Further, the adsorption of pollutants and other macromolecules onto the surface of FPPs is a well-known phenomenon. To establish the adsorption behavior of pollutants and the adsorption capacity of different plastic materials, batch adsorption experiments are typically carried out, wherein known concentrations of a pollutant are added to a known amount of plastic. These experiments can be time-consuming and wasteful by design, and in this work, an alternative theoretical approach to considering the problem is reviewed. As a theoretical tool, molecular dynamics (MD) can be used to probe and understand adsorbent−adsorbate interactions at the molecular scale while also providing a powerful visual picture of how the adsorption process occurs. In recent years, numerous studies have emerged that used MD as a theoretical tool to study adsorption on FPPs, and in this work, these studies are presented and discussed across three main categories: (i) organic pollutants, (ii) inorganic pollutants, and (iii) biological macromolecules. Emphasis is placed on how MD-calculated interaction energies can align with experimental data from batch adsorption experiments, and particular consideration is given to how MD can complement existing approaches. This work demonstrates that MD can provide significant insight into the adsorption behavior of different pollutants, but modern approaches are lacking a generalized formula for theoretically predicting adsorption behavior. With more data, MD could be used as a robust, initial assessment tool for the prioritization of chemical pollutants in the context of the microplastisphere, meaning that less timeconsuming and potentially wasteful experiments would need to be carried out. With additional refinement, modern simulations will facilitate an improved understanding of chemical adsorption in aquatic environments.
