Effect of Butadiene Rubber Crystallization on Low-Temperature Properties of Butadiene/Silicone Rubber Blends with Potential for Mars Applications.

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
This study explores the impact of butadiene rubber (BR) crystallization on the low-temperature properties of butadiene/silicone (VMQ) rubber blends (BR/VMQ) designed for Martian applications. Two types of BR, semi-crystalline high-cis Buna CB24 and amorphous Buna CB550, were blended with VMQ, and their mechanical and thermal properties were evaluated. Kinetics of vulcanization, static mechanical properties, dynamical mechanical analysis, thermal shrinkage, and differential scanning calorimetry were utilized. The research demonstrates that the semi-crystalline BR improves mechanical properties but induces greater shrinkage at low temperatures. Conversely, using amorphous BR provided more consistent mechanical properties across the Martian temperature range and reduced material shrink by 6.71% for samples with carbon black, by 8.36% for samples with silica, and by 11.63% for unfilled samples. Future research will be required to evaluate the impact of volume change on the sealing properties of the BR/VMQ blends.
