Abstract:

A series of self?healing waterborne polyurethane materials (WPUs) was prepared using a aromatic disulfide compound, 2,2'?diaminodiphenyldisulfide (AD), as a raw material. The resulting WPUs were characterized using FTIR spectrometer, Raman spectrometer, thermogravimetric analyzer, particle size analyzer, hot?stage polarized light microscope, and contact angle meter. Their thermal stability, surface hydrophobicity and self?healing properties were investigated together with its tensile properties and self?healing efficiency evaluated quantitatively though a tensile experiment. The results showed that AD was successfully introduced into the molecular chain of WPUs. The thermal stability of WPUs decreased gradually with an increase in AD content, and its surface hydrophobicity increased as well. The sample WPU?3 presented a static contact angle of 81.2 ° and tensile strength of 5.6 MPa. However, WPU?0 only has tensile strength of 1.1 MPa. On the other hand, WPU?1 has a tensile strain healing efficiency of 81 % after heating for 3 h under a moderate healing temperature of 80 ℃.

Key words: self?healing, waterborne polyurethane, dynamic disulfide bond, healing efficiency
