Room-Temperature Material Recycling/Upcycling of Polyamide Waste Enabled by Cosolvent-Tunable Dissolution Kinetics.
Article in Angewandte Chemie (International ed. in English), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Polyamides (PAs, nylons) are a ubiquitous class of high-performance plastics used extensively in a wide range of applications. Their high resistance to many common solvents and tendency to hydrolyze in strong acids or bases creates a major hurdle to low-emissions material recycling (i.e., resource separation and recovery). In the present study, the first detailed investigation into the molecular mechanisms of polyamide dissolution, we show that introducing a weakly hydrogen-bonding cosolvent into formic acid can effectively tune the solvent-solvent and solvent-polymer interactions, drastically accelerates the room-temperature dissolution kinetics of common (short-chain) polyamides such as PA6 and PA66, as well as long-chain and semi-aromatic varieties. The recovered polymers show no change in their chemical structures or properties, and sufficient selectivity allows for fillers such as short and long fibers, inorganic nanoparticles, metals, and other mixed polymer phases to be recovered at high efficiency (>95%) along with recirculation of all solvents (>98%). This cosolvent-enabled approach has the potential to make polyamide recycling more sustainable and economical by reducing the energy input and CO
