Epoxy-Based Vitrimers for Sustainable Infrastructure: Emphasizing Recycling and Self-Healing Properties.
Review in Polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Epoxy-based vitrimers represent a paradigm shift in material science, offering an unprecedented combination of mechanical robustness, environmental sustainability, and reconfigurability. These dynamic polymer systems utilize associative dynamic covalent bonds (DCBs) such as transesterification to blend the structural integrity of thermosets with the recyclability and self-healing properties of thermoplastics. This unique combination makes vitrimers ideal candidates for high-performance applications in industries such as civil engineering, where material durability, repairability, and environmental compatibility are critical. Epoxy-based vitrimers, in particular, exhibit exceptional self-healing capabilities, allowing them to autonomously repair microcracks and damage, restoring mechanical properties under appropriate stimuli such as heat or light. Their recyclability further aligns with global sustainability goals by reducing material waste and lifecycle costs. Recent advancements have also integrated bio-based feedstocks and scalable manufacturing methods, enhancing the feasibility of these materials for industrial applications. This review explores the underlying self-healing mechanisms, dynamic recycling processes, and the emerging role of epoxy-based vitrimers in civil engineering. Challenges related to scalability, mechanical optimization, and regulatory acceptance are also discussed, with a focus on their potential to drive sustainable innovation in infrastructure materials.
