Solvation-Driven Self-Assembly of Polyetheramine-Epoxide Gels: Insights from Molecular Simulations.
Article in ACS polymers Au, 2026. 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
Polymer-based materials have emerged as promising platforms for controlled nutrient delivery in agriculture, offering enhanced efficiency and sustainability. In this study, we performed molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the self-assembly mechanism of Medipacs epoxy polymer (MEP113) vesicles in aqueous environments. We show that MEP113 concentration critically influences its aggregation behavior: the simulation in the gas phase (vacuum) favors polymer clustering, while aqueous solvation promotes molecular dispersion through hydration effects. Radial distribution function (RDF) analyses revealed that water disrupts direct polymer-polymer interactions, altering the solute organization, especially at higher polymer concentrations. We analyzed structural parameters such as radius of gyration and end-to-end distance measurements and found that solvated systems undergo conformational expansion, contrasting with the compact arrangements observed in dry conditions. Additionally, noncovalent interaction analyses highlighted the key roles of hydrogen bonding and van der Waals forces in stabilizing MEP113 assemblies in solution. These insights advance the rational design of nanostructured polymer systems for applications in agriculture and nanotechnology.
