“…In this work, we propose to use the solvent-crazing process − to reduce the PLA fragility and to increase its strength characteristics. Crazing of polymers is a fundamental mechanism of plastic deformation of solid amorphous and semicrystalline polymers, and it is accompanied by the formation of an oriented highly dispersed fibrillar–porous structure in local deformation zones, which are referred to as crazes. , Moreover, it is known − that crazing is considered as a method for loading polymer matrices with different thermodynamically incompatible low- and high-molecular additives, such as dyes, fire-retardant agents, odorants, bactericides, and so forth, with a simultaneous dispersion of fillers up to the nanometric level.…”
