Cellulosic Functional Bioplastic with Tunable Strength and Toughness Through Heat-Treatment of Dynamic Covalent Networks.
Article in Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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 growing environmental crisis caused by petroleum-based polymers has intensified the development of sustainable alternatives, with many biomass-derived polymers demonstrating potential for degradability, renewability, and low carbon footprints, though these properties can vary depending on structure and processing. However, traditional bio-based systems often lack tunability in mechanical properties, making it challenging to achieve both high strength and ductility. Herein, we report a high-performance, recyclable bio-based film (CAF-L) constructed via Diels-Alder dynamic covalent chemistry between furfuryl-functionalized cellulose acetate and maleimide-modified lignin. Thermally responsive dynamic Diels-Alder bonds, activated through heat-treatment, enable programmable network crosslinking that allows a smooth transition between strength- and ductility-dominated regimes, while maintaining high mechanical performance (tensile strength up to 52.3 MPa and elongation at break up to 545%). Structural characterization and molecular simulations reveal that Diels-Alder bond dynamics drive thermally induced structural reorganization of the polymer network, imparting rare adaptivity to biomass-based systems. In addition, CAF-L films exhibit outstanding UV shielding, oxygen barrier properties, and dual-mode recyclability through solvent dissolution and hot pressing. This work provides a scalable platform for constructing mechanically tunable, structurally reconfigurable, and environmentally resilient cellulosic bioplastic for sustainable packaging and circular material systems.
