Recycling of Bovine Hair Waste Through the Design of a Compatibilizing Agent for Sustainable Thermoplastic Starch-Untreated Bovine Hair Composites.
Article in Polymers, 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
Bovine hair waste was chemically modified to obtain a coupling agent (CA) for the compatibilization of thermoplastic starch (TPS)-unmodified bovine hair waste (UH) composites. The composites processed with CA presented improved tensile strength (3.5 MPa) compared to TPS-UH composites without CA (1.25 MPa). An interaction mechanism to describe the improvement in mechanical properties and thermal stability was postulated based on Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and density functional theory (DFT). In addition, optical and electron microscopy showed that CA favored the adhesion of UH to TPS. Global results suggested the formation of a CA-UH network that interacts with the TPS matrix. Obtaining composites from waste from the tanning industry can contribute to the development of a more responsible and sustainable industry and represents an opportunity to reduce the environmental impact of one of the most important industries globally. It is worth mentioning that this research is aligned with the sustainable development goals (SDGs) proposed by the United Nations, which promotes sustainable industrialization and the promotion of innovation.
