AB  - Marine pollution stemming from plastic microbeads (MBs) in personal care products 
      has been substantially increased because of their nonbiodegradability and high 
      adsorption capacity against persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in seawater. 
      Moreover, the manufacturing process of MBs has been based on wet processes, such 
      as emulsification, microfluidics, and precipitation. Therefore, a green process 
      for obtaining biodegradable MBs is urgently necessary. Aliphatic polyesters, such 
      as poly(lactic acid) (PLA, radiation-degradable) and poly(epsilon-caprolactone) (PCL, 
      radiation-cross-linkable), have biodegradability and melt processability. The 
      eco-friendly melt electrospraying process is a simple and cost-effective method 
      for the preparation of MBs without the need for organic reagents. In this study, 
      the PLA and PCL MBs were obtained by adjusting the main processing parameters 
      during the melt electrospraying process. The weight losses of PLA and PCL MBs in 
      aqueous environments occurred faster than those of positive controls, and the 
      thermal transition parameters were decreased with the hydrolytic degradation of 
      MBs. In the POP adsorption test, the biodegradable MBs showed poor adsorption 
      because of their low specific surface area. The results of the cleansing 
      efficiency test indicated that biodegradable MBs have great potential as more 
      sustainable cosmetics to replace nondegradable MBs.
