Polymer Network Evolution Induced by Dual-Crosslinking Architectures in UV-Curable Waterborne Polyurethanes.
Article 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
Dual-crosslinked waterborne polyurethane (WPU) coatings offer high performance, yet how sequential crosslinking governs the dynamic evolution of internal hydrogen bonding remains poorly understood. Herein, a dual-crosslinking strategy was developed by coupling castor oil (CO) thermal pre-branching with photo-curing monomers of contrasting functionalities: hydroxyl-bearing monofunctional acrylate (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, HEMA) and trifunctional acrylate (pentaerythritol triacrylate, PETA). The interplay between covalent crosslinking and physical hydrogen-bonding reorganization was systematically investigated using FTIR carbonyl deconvolution, gel fraction, crosslinking density, and dynamic mechanical analysis. Spectral deconvolution demonstrated that dual-crosslinking reorganizes hard-segment microenvironments rather than merely increasing hydrogen-bond density. Specifically, CO pre-branching facilitated supramolecular association, where CO1 selectively promoted localized, highly ordered microdomains (33.8% strongly bonded carbonyls in WPU-CO1-TA) and CO2 expanded the overall hydrogen-bonded population. DMA further revealed that these topological variations directly dictate segmental relaxation and network integrity across the glass transition. Overall, this preliminary study establishes that tailoring photo-monomer functionality alongside bio-based branching regulates physical hydrogen-bonding redistribution, providing a rational design strategy for advanced dual-crosslinked WPU films.
