Self-cleaning, transparent, and anti-icing properties of polylactic acid films with stiffness-toughness balance via a stretching-nonsolvent-induced phase separation-liquid infusion process.

Polylactic acid (PLA) is a highly sustainable and fully biodegradable polymer that is regarded as a promising alternative to conventional polyolefin films in packaging applications. Nevertheless, PLA inherently suffers from various bottlenecks such a…
