Polyurethane-Based Composites for Flexible Sensors: A Review.
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
The rapid advancement of flexible electronics technology has endowed flexible sensors with significant application potential in fields such as wearable sensors, bionic skin, and human-machine interaction, owing to their excellent conformability, stretchability, and comfort. However, as application scenarios continue to expand and deepen, higher requirements are imposed on sensor performance in terms of sensitivity, stability, biocompatibility, environmental friendliness, and multifunctional integration. Polyurethane composites, leveraging their intrinsic characteristics, including tunable molecular structure, superior flexibility, and good biocompatibility, can effectively impart properties such as electrical conductivity, self-healing capability, and high sensitivity through compositing with various functional materials, thereby precisely aligning with the diverse demands of next-generation flexible sensors. This article systematically reviews the synthesis strategies of polyurethane composites; provides a detailed analysis of the roles of fillers-including carbon-based materials, polymers, and metal nanoparticles/nanowires-in enhancing the mechanical, electrical, and functional properties of the composites; and further summarizes the research progress of polyurethane composite-based flexible sensors in cutting-edge areas such as eco-friendly sensing, human motion monitoring, health monitoring, and bionic electronic skin. Future development trends are also discussed, aiming to provide insights for the design and development of high-performance flexible sensors.
