Cure Kinetics and Thermal Behavior of a Printable Polydimethylsiloxane-Based Polymer.
Article in ACS omega, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
In this study, we investigate the curing reaction kinetics and degree of cross-linking of LL50, a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based polymer, using isothermal heat flow calorimetry (HFC). LL50, developed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, is a two-part addition-curing liquid silicone rubber for direct-ink-writing additive manufacturing. The curing process, driven by a platinum-catalyzed hydrosilylation reaction, was monitored under isothermal conditions at various temperatures. We developed a kinetic model to predict the curing rate and extent of the reaction. The model was validated within the temperature range of 50 to 80 °C, showing good agreement with experimental data. However, the model's extrapolation to near-room temperatures (30 °C) was less accurate, indicating that different kinetic mechanisms may be at play. Our findings highlight the importance of validating kinetic models across relevant temperature ranges and underscore the utility of isothermal calorimetry in studying polymer curing processes. This study provides insights into the processing conditions necessary for the optimal performance of LL50 in 3D printing applications.
