Effect of Thermal Aging on the Mechanical Properties of Rubber Composites Reinforced with Carbon Nanotubes.
Article in Polymers, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
The incorporation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) enhances the mechanical performance of rubber composites. This study examines the effect of single-walled CNTs (1-4 phr) on the properties of a natural rubber compound for sealing applications, both before and after thermal aging, as prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures can alter material properties, affecting durability and functionality. The researched nanocomposites were subjected to a series of mechanical tests, dynamic mechanical analysis, and surface investigation using atomic force microscopy (AFM). After adding 4 phr of CNTs, tensile and tear strength increased by 11.73% and 14.64%, respectively, while aging-related strength degradation was reduced by 5%. CNTs also increased complex modulus and hardness but reduced elongation at break and rebound resilience. Residual deformation in tensile and compressive set tests decreased. AFM analysis confirmed improved surface stability after thermal aging compared to the CNT-free compound.
