Abstract

Ethanol treatment of electrospun PLA mats led to their shrinkage and fibers crimping without an increase of crystallinity Both free-ends and fixed-ends ethanoltreated PLA mats had a higher elongation at break than the non-treated ones Stretching of PLA mats in ethanol caused their high alignment while stretching in air led to fibers necking and
