1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Ferroelectric materials are well-suited for advanced wearable electronics, where elasticity and user comfort are paramount. Nevertheless, current ferroelectric elastomers, primarily based on polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) copolymers, suffer from low Curie temperature, poor stability under extreme conditions, and sluggish polarization switching, limiting their applicability in high-temperature environments and compromising the sensitivity of devices. To overcome these challenges, we leverage PVDF homopolymers to develop a ferroelectric elastomer with higher Curie transition temperature. Through strategic thermal crosslinking with polyethylene glycol diamine and a melt-memory effect, we have developed intrinsically ferroelectric elastomers that combine thermal stability with fast polarization switching. The materials maintain stable ferroelectric performance across a wider temperature range up to 150 °C, the highest reported for ferroelectric elastomers. Additionally, they exhibit 85% elastic recovery under 30% strain. More strikingly, under 200% strain, they demonstrate a reduction in coercive field and a two-order-of-magnitude increase in domain switching speed-features essential for high-performance and low-energy-consumption electronics. The breakthrough in high-temperature stability, fast switching dynamics and efficient low-voltage operation paves the way for a class of robust, sensitive, and responsive ferroelectric elastomers, providing a transformative platform for the future of intelligent, high-performance wearable electronics.
