Evolution of the Structure of EDPM Crosslinking Networks and Its Influence on the Rheological Properties of the Injection Molding Process.
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 rubber industry is evolving by incorporating innovative tools to improve production processes. A proper manufacturing process determines the behavior and service life of the resulting products. In this research, molecular dynamics simulations were used to study the effect of temperature in the cured structure on the resulting mechanical properties of EPDM. The results of the simulations at different temperatures of the crosslinked ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM) were then compared in terms of the radius of gyration, free volume, root mean square displacement, stress curves, viscosity, and gel point. Then, using the superposition principle, viscosity and tensile stress were evaluated. The molecular dynamics superposition results could reasonably predict the mechanical behavior of EPDM during and after the injection process. The results provide new insights into the molecular-level crosslinking mechanisms of amorphous polymers and their influence on mechanical behavior, which facilitates the design of the injection process for rubber component applications. The results show an increase in viscosity and a decrease in the critical gel point with increasing temperature. The hardness tests performed on an automotive component demonstrate that this has an impact on the resulting properties.
