Robust liquid crystal semi-interpenetrating polymer network with superior energy-dissipation performance.
Article in Nature communications, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Liquid crystal networks (LCN) have attracted surging interest as extraordinary energy-dissipation materials owning to their unique dissipation mechanism based on the re-orientation of mesogens. However, how to integrate high Young's modulus, good dissipation efficiency and wide effective damping temperature range in energy-dissipation LCN remains a challenge. Here, we report a strategy to resolve this challenge by fabricating robust energy-dissipation liquid crystal semi-interpenetrating polymer network (LC-semi-IPN) consisting crystalline LC polymers (c-LCP). LC-semi-IPN demonstrates a superior synergistic performance in both mechanical and energy-dissipation properties, surpassing all currently reported LCNs. The crystallinity of c-LCP endows LC-semi-IPN with a substantial leap in Young's modulus (1800% higher than single network). The chain reptation of c-LCP also promotes an enhanced dissipation efficiency of LC-semi-IPN by 200%. Moreover, its effective damping temperature reaches up to 130 °C, which is the widest reported for LCNs. By leveraging its exceptional synergistic performance, LC-semi-IPN can be further utilized as a functional architected structure with exceptional energy-dissipation density and deformation-resistance.
