Extended Data Fig. 4

Specific solvent conditions associated with Hansen solubility theory were identified for each of the polymers used in this study: polystyrene (PS), PMMA, polycarbonate (PC) and PSF. RED, relative energy difference. The blue dots and red crosses denote successful and unsuccessful application of organized stress microfibrillation respectively. The regions within the dotted lines are magnified in the insets. The numeric labelling of each solvent is detailed in the corresponding table where the weight ratio of components in a mixture is indicated in parentheses, for example, ‘16(1:5)’ refers to a solution of toluene and methanol with a weight ratio of 1:5. THF, tetrahydrofuran.
