Adhesion Optimization between Incompatible Polymers through Interfacial Engineering.
Article in Polymers, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Additive manufacturing technologies such as fused filament fabrication (FFF) open many possibilities in terms of product functionality, including the possibility to integrate a sensor in FFF parts to perform structural health monitoring. In this context, embedding fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors into 3D-printed polymeric structures for strain or temperature measurements has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Indeed, offering structural health monitoring functionality can optimize the maintenance cost and increase security compared with conventional materials. However, the transmission of strain and temperature between the polymeric matrix and the FBG polymer jacket requires optimal bonding between them. In this work, the two polymers of interest are polyimide (PI) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) for the FBG jacket and printed polymer, respectively. The current study investigates the influence of different surface treatment methods on the adhesion between a PI film and a plate of PLA, with PLA and PI being incompatible polymers. The adhesion promotion applied to the PI surface relies on cleaning, plasma activation, roughness modification, or the use of adhesive nanocoating. Bilayer samples of PI-PLA are processed by welding PLA against the treated PI by heating, whereas the adhesion between PI and PLA is measured by peel testing. It is observed that the highest adhesion between PI and PLA is achieved by a combination of mechanical abrasion increasing roughness and the use of polydopamine as an adhesive. This finding is discussed based on a synergetic effect between mechanical interlocking and chemical interaction between the two counterfaces.
