High-strength, multi-mode processable bamboo molecular bioplastic enabled by solvent-shaping regulation.
Article in Nature communications, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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 global reliance on petrochemical plastics has led to severe environmental crises, necessitating sustainable alternatives that combine high performance with circularity. While bioplastics derived from biomass show promise, their widespread adoption is hindered by inferior mechanical properties, limited processability, and reliance on food-competing feedstocks. Here, we present a molecular engineering strategy to fabricate high-strength bamboo molecular plastics (BM-plastics) through a solvent-regulated shaping process. By employing deep eutectic solvents to disassemble bamboo cellulose's hydrogen-bond network and ethanol-mediated molecular stimulation to reconstruct dense hydrogen-bond interactions, we achieve a bioplastic with exceptional mechanical strength (tensile strength: 110 MPa, flexural modulus: 6.41 GPa), thermal stability (>180 °C), and versatile processability via injection, molding, and machining techniques. The BM-plastic outperforms most commercial plastics and bioplastics in mechanical and thermo-mechanical metrics while maintaining full biodegradability in soil within 50 days and closed-loop recyclability with 90% retained strength. Techno-economic analysis confirms its cost competitiveness, bridging the gap between sustainability and industrial scalability. This work establishes a method for transforming abundant bamboo cellulose into high-performance, eco-friendly materials, offering a viable pathway to mitigate plastic pollution and fossil resource dependence.
