A Comprehensive Review on the Role of Nanosilica as a Toughening Agent for Enhanced Epoxy Composites for Aerospace Applications.
Review in ACS omega, 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
This review provides a thorough review on nanosilica as a strengthening component in epoxy composites, with a specific emphasis on its suitability for use in aerospace applications. The study commences by examining the distinctive characteristics of nanosilica, encompassing its methods of synthesis as well as its efficacy in augmenting the mechanical and thermal properties of epoxy-based composites. A substantial part of the review focuses on assessing the efficiency of nanosilica-reinforced glass fiber composite laminates, particularly in the field of aerospace structural applications. The issue of low toughness in epoxy composites, specifically the occurrence of crack growth and propagation when subjected to stress, is tackled through the investigation of different toughening techniques. These techniques involve the addition of nanosilica and liquid rubber tougheners such as ETBN. In addition, this review presents the techniques used to distribute nanosilica particles within epoxy resins and offers a detailed examination of the mechanical testing and characterization methods employed for these nanocomposites. The study determines that nanosilica, owing to its substantial surface area and mechanical durability, greatly improves the resilience and overall mechanical efficacy of epoxy composites, rendering it a highly promising material for the aerospace sector. This study suggests that addition of nanosilica in epoxy-based composites until 5% by weight gives the best possible outcomes with respect to increment in mechanical properties like modulus, strength, and toughness.
