Understanding the Effect of Graphene Nanoplatelet Size on the Mechanical and Thermal Properties of Fluoroelastomer-Based Composites.
Article in Polymers, 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 study presents a comprehensive evaluation of the behavior of fluoroelastomer (FKM) compounds reinforced with graphene nanoplatelets of various sizes such as 15 μm (GN15) and 5 μm (GN5). The study evaluates the mechanical, dynamic mechanical, thermal, wetting, and photothermal properties of the compounds when irradiated with an 808 nm laser. The results demonstrate that the size of the graphene nanoplatelets significantly impacts the mechanical properties, with smaller sizes exhibiting a stronger reinforcing effect compared to larger nanoplatelets. Additionally, clear evidence of an influence on dynamic mechanical properties was observed, particularly through the broadening of the damping factor (tan δ) peak. This suggests modifications to the material's viscoelastic behavior. Regarding the photothermal response, it was found that smaller nanoplatelets (GN5) dispersed in the rubber matrix allow higher temperatures to be reached and thermal equilibrium to be achieved more efficiently under irradiation. Overall, the results suggest that FKM compounds containing graphene nanoplatelets can attain high temperatures with low-energy infrared irradiation. This makes them promising materials for technological applications in extreme environments, such as the Arctic, high mountains, or space, where materials with controlled thermal responses and high mechanical performance are required.
