Fluoro-Functionalized Silsesquioxane Polymer-Based High Hydrophobic Coatings for Enhancing Properties of Kraft Paper.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Paper plays an important role in the packaging industry due to its low cost, light weight, recyclability and biodegradability. However, the use of paper as a packaging material is severely limited due to its hydrophilicity caused by the hydroxyl groups of cellulose. This study reports a simple preparation of highly hydrophobic kraft paper by a one-step dip coating method using [3-(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropoxy)propyl]silsesquioxane, {3-[(2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-octafluoropentyl)oxy]propyl}silsesquioxane or {3-[(2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7-dodecafluoroheptyl)oxy]propyl}silsesquioxane as hydrophobic agents. As a result of modification of kraft paper, a stable covalently bonded coating is formed on its surface. The coated kraft paper has demonstrated (1) high water resistance (the water contact angle (WCA) values were 124-141°, and the water absorption and the water vapor permeability (WVP) rates were significantly decreased), (2) excellent resistance to aggressive environments and temperature, (3) enhanced mechanical properties (tensile strength increased from 46.8 to 70.8 MPa), and (4) high wear resistance, as confirmed by sandpaper abrasion, bending, and finger-wipe tests. It was shown that the maximum contact angle values were achieved for kraft paper modified with a 5% polymer solution. The results of this study have great potential, given the simplicity of the modification method, for use in the production of paper-based packaging materials with water-repellent, enhanced mechanical and moisture-protective properties.
