“…57,58 The fiber mats exhibited negligible changes when placed at a pH range of 4.5-6.8 for 46 days. 52,53,59 Hydrophobic PLA fiber mats also showed good hydrolytic resistance even under pH values 11 and 3 because of their high resistance to hydroxide penetration. [60][61][62] Although PLA and the additives used in preparing these fiber mats are dissoluble in several solvents, e.g., THF, chloroform and dichloromethane, the prepared fiber mats show high resistance to various organic solvents, including alcohols, acetone, hexane, cyclohexane, toluene, tetrachloromethane, silicone oil, pump oil, and vegetable oils.…”
