Research on curing reaction kinetics and curing process of hydroxy-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) propellants.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. 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
Hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) propellants are high-performance solid propellants widely used in aerospace and military applications. By combining experimental and theoretical approaches, the curing process was analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to obtain reaction data at various heating rates. A thermochemical model and a finite-element model were developed to simulate the curing process, revealing the evolution of temperature and curing degree. The results indicate that higher heating rates significantly accelerate the curing reaction, reducing the curing time. The close agreement between the simulation and experimental data validates the reliability of the model. Future work could expand the model to include additional practical factors, such as material impurities and complex working conditions, to further optimize the HTPB propellant curing process.
