Friction and Wear Behavior of Laser-Induced Graphene Structures on Polyimide Films.
Article in Small science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Laser-induced graphene (LIG) is formed by the conversion of certain carbon precursors when irradiated with a laser beam. Predesigned LIG patterns are scribed onto the precursor material in a low-cost and maskless process, which enables the fabrication of flexible and electrically conductive materials for various applications. This study explores the friction and wear behavior of LIG from a polyimide precursor. Line patterns with different widths (200, 100, 50, and 30 μm) are introduced to modify the friction properties. An ultraviolet laser source with a nominal beam size of 2 μm is used, as it allows to scribe patterns with smaller dimensions and at higher resolution compared to the more commonly applied infrared laser sources. A distinct correlation is established between the pattern and its friction behavior, where lowering the line size results in a decrease in the coefficient of friction (COF). The wear behavior is evaluated, revealing gradual wear of the protruding LIG roughness peaks and a change in the graphenic material, which reduces the COF during the running-in stage of the tribological testing. Due to its versatility in terms of precursor material, patterning options, and morphology modification, LIG represents a meaningful candidate for customized tribological applications.
