Waterborne Poly(urethane-urea)s for Lithium-Ion/Lithium-Metal Batteries.
Review in Polymers, 2026. 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
Waterborne polyurethane (WPU) and waterborne poly(urethane-urea) (WPUU) dispersions allow safer and more sustainable manufacturing of rechargeable batteries via water-based processing, while offering tunable adhesion and segmented-domain mechanics. Beyond conventional roles as binders and coatings, WPU/WPUU chemistries also support separator/interlayer and polymer-electrolyte designs for lithium-ion and lithium metal systems, where interfacial integrity, stress accommodation, and ion transport must be balanced. Here, we review WPU/WPUU fundamentals (building blocks, dispersion stabilization, morphology, and film formation) and review prior studies through a battery-centric structure-processing-property lens. We point out key performance-limiting trade-offs-adhesion versus electrolyte uptake and ionic conductivity versus storage modulus-and relate them to practical formulation variables, including soft-/hard-segment selection, ionic center/counterion design, molecular weight/topology control, and crosslinking strategies. Applications are reviewed for (i) electrode binders (graphite/Si; cathodes such as LFP and NMC), (ii) separator coatings and functional interlayers, and (iii) gel/solid polymer electrolytes and hybrid composites, with a focus on practical design guidelines for navigating these trade-offs. Future advancements in WPU/WPUU chemistries will depend on developing stable, low-impedance interlayers, enhancing electrochemical behavior, and establishing application-specific design guidelines to optimize performance in lithium metal batteries (LMB).
