Water-Induced Phase Separation for Anti-Swelling Hydrogel Adhesives in Underwater Soft Electronics.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
The development of hydrogel-based underwater electronics has gained significant attention due to their flexibility and portability compared to conventional rigid devices. However, common hydrogels face challenges such as swelling and poor underwater adhesion, limiting their practicality in water environments. Here, a water-induced phase separation strategy to fabricate hydrogels with enhanced anti-swelling properties and underwater adhesion is presented. By leveraging the contrasting affinity of different polymer chains to water, a phase-separated structure with rich hydrophobic and dilute hydrophilic polymer phases is achieved. This dual-phase structure, meticulously characterized from the macroscopic to the nanoscale, confers the hydrogel network with augmented retractive elastic forces and facilitates efficient water drainage at the gel-substrate interface. As a result, the hydrogel exhibits remarkable swelling resistance and long-lasting adhesion to diverse substrates. Additionally, the integration of carboxylic multiwalled carbon nanotubes into the hydrogel system preserves its anti-swelling and adhesion properties while imparting superior conductivity. The conductive phase-separated hydrogel exhibited great potential in diverse underwater applications, including sensing, communication, and energy harvesting. This study elucidates a facile strategy for designing anti-swelling underwater adhesives by leveraging the ambient solvent effect, which is expected to offer some insights for the development of next-generation adhesive soft materials tailored for aqueous environments.
