Effect of Ultraviolet Aging on Properties of Epoxy Resin and Its Pultruded Fiber-Reinforced Composite.
Article in Polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Polymer matrix composites (PMCs) often undergo aging as a result of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which significantly impacts their performance and durability. This paper investigated the alterations in the microstructure and macroscopic properties of epoxy resin and its composite used in overhead wires during UV aging. Furthermore, the mechanism of UV aging for both resin and composite was revealed. The results showed that UV aging predominantly affected the properties of the surface layer resin. UV aging can induce molecular chain scission, which leads to resin weight change, color deepening, microcrack formation, a decline in mechanical properties, and other performance degradation behaviors under the combined action of many factors. With the increase in aging time, the weight change rate and hardness of the resin increased first and then decreased, while the mechanical properties of the composite decreased rapidly first and gradually tended to be constant. The bending strength and impact strength of the composite decreased by 6.0% and 12.8%, respectively, compared with the initial values. The purpose of this study is to comprehensively understand the UV aging behaviors of epoxy resins and their composites employed in overhead wires, and it also provides essential data for advancing the utilization and durability of epoxy resins and composites across aerospace, marine, and other outdoor applications.
