Exploring cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) for flexible silver nanowire electrode.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 flexible electronic devices has been a primary focus in various fields, and silver nanowire (Ag NW) networks show significant promise due to their unique electrical and mechanical properties. However, achieving well-defined and stable nanowire coatings on polymer substrates remains challenging. This work presents a novel and simple approach for directly coating Ag NWs on cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) substrates utilizing ultraviolet/ozone (UVO) treatment, a method not previously demonstrated for this specific material system up to our knowledge. The compatibility of this approach with COC eliminates the need for complex pre- and post-treatment processes, making it a more straightforward and environmentally friendly way to improve adhesion between Ag NWs and COC. The Ag NWs/COC electrodes exhibited excellent optoelectrical performance, with a high optical transmittance of 84% and a low sheet resistance of 13 Ω/sq-metrics that compare favorably to industry standards for transparent conductive films. Additionally, the Ag NWs/COC electrodes displayed excellent mechanical stability, showing no changes in sheet resistance after both tape adhesion and film bending tests. The novelty of the presented Ag NW-COC system, combined with the simplicity and environmental benefits of the UVO coating approach, as well as the demonstrated performance and stability of the resulting electrodes, make this work a significant advancement towards realizing the commercial potential of flexible electronics for biocompatible and wearable device applications.
