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

Additive manufacturing of electroactive polymers offers transformative potential for flexible electronics and smart devices, yet preserving the microstructure responsible for the electroactive property during processing remains a challenge. Here, we report a digital light processing (DLP) approach formulated without any volatile organic solvent to prepare poly-(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)-based composites under ambient conditions, employing 1,6-hexanediol dimethacrylate (HDDMA) as a polymerizable matrix and phenylbis-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)-phosphine oxide (BAPO) as an efficient visible-light photoinitiator. Unlike conventional solvent-based methods relying on PVDF dissolution, this formulation enables direct dispersion of PVDF particles in the photocurable resin without the use of organic solvents that are typically used in the processing of PVDF. Formulation optimization enabled stable suspensions of PVDF up to 35 wt %, with rheological and optical properties leading to high-fidelity DLP printed samples. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) of cross sections of the 3D printed sample revealed uniform dispersion of PVDF-rich domains. Comprehensive characterization of the 3D printed sample using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and X-ray diffraction confirmed the retention of the pristine PVDF's semicrystalline phases postprocessing. Preprinting modification of the PVDF and postprinting modifications of the 3D printed composite were conducted to confirm this observation. For instance, solvent-precipitated PVDF with enhanced β phase fraction, which is often associated with electroactivity, was used in the formulation without phase degradation during photopolymerization and postprint annealing of the 3D printed composite provided additional phase tuning, underscoring the versatility of this approach. This work establishes DLP as a robust platform for the additive manufacturing PVDF-based composites, allowing for precise control and retention over crystalline phase content and complex architectures, potentially relevant for electroactive applications in next-generation flexible electronics.
