Urethane groups formed by reacting phenolic hydroxyl groups with isocyanates are known to be reversible at high temperatures. To investigate the intrinsic self-healing of polyurethane via a reversible urethane group, we synthesized vanillyl alcohol (VA)-based polyurethanes. The phenolic hydroxyl group of vanillyl alcohol allows the introduction of a reversible urethane group into the polyurethane backbone. Particularly, we investigated the effects of varying the concentration of reversible urethane groups on the self-healing of the polyurethane, and we proposed a method that improved the mobility of the molecules contributing to the self-healing process. The concentration of reversible urethane groups in the polyurethanes was controlled by varying the vanillyl alcohol content. Increasing the concentration of the reversible urethane group worsened the self-healing property by increasing hydrogen bonding and microphase separation, which consequently decreased the molecular mobility. On the other hand, after formulating a modified chain extender (m-CE), hydrogen bonding and microphase separation decreased, and the mobility (and hence the self-healing efficiency) of the molecules improved. In VA40-10 (40% VA; 10% m-CE) heated to 140 °C, the self-healing efficiency reached 96.5% after 30 min, a 139% improvement over the control polyurethane elastomer (PU). We conclude that the self-healing and mechanical properties of polyurethanes might be tailored for applications by adjusting the vanillyl alcohol content and modifying the chain extender.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to highlight the relevant role of the stereochemistry of two Ruthenium catalysts on the self-healing efficiency of aeronautical resins.Design/methodology/approachHere, a very detailed evaluation on the stereochemistry of two new ruthenium catalysts evidences the crucial role of the spatial orientation of phenyl groups in the N-heterocyclic carbene ligands in determining the temperature range within the curing cycles is feasible without deactivating the self-healing mechanisms (ring-opening metathesis polymerization reactions) inside the thermosetting resin. The exceptional activity and thermal stability of the HG2MesPhSyncatalyst, with the syn orientation of phenyl groups, highlight the relevant potentiality and the future perspectives of this complex for the activation of the self-healing function in aeronautical resins.FindingsThe HG2MesPhSyncomplex, with the syn orientation of the phenyl groups, is able to activate metathesis reactions within the highly reactive environment of the epoxy thermosetting resins, cured up to 180°C, while the other stereoisomer, with the anti-orientation of the phenyl groups, does not preserve its catalytic activity in these conditions.Originality/valueIn this paper, a comparison between the self-healing functionality of two catalytic systems has been performed, using metathesis tests and FTIR spectroscopy. In the field of the design of catalytic systems for self-healing structural materials, a very relevant result has been found: a slight difference in the molecular stereochemistry plays a key role in the development of self-healing materials for aeronautical and aerospace applications.

Damping Materials

It is urgent for polyurethane (PU) damping materials to broaden the effective damping range. Based on the designability of PU, this study is focused on the role of long dangling chain, wherein prepared by the reaction of polyethylene glycol monomethyl ether with toluene-2,4-diisocyanate. Notably, the introduction of long dangling chain not only makes the dangling chain longer and enhances the intermolecular interaction but also equips the dangling chain with strong polar carbamate group, bringing about more excellent compatibility of the soft and hard segments and lower degree of microphase separation under the condition of hydrogen bonding. The results show that the damping performance increases with the synergistic effect of significant hydrogen bonding and decreased degree of microphase separation, and the effective damping temperature range (tan δ ≥ 0.3) can exceed 150°C (−50°C to 100°C). Simultaneously, the addition of long dangling chains endows PU with self-healing property, the self-healing rate of system reaches maximum 70% with shore A hardness of 15 because of the synergistic effect above with the addition of 60% dangling chain, which extends the service life of PU damping materials.

Although self-healing protective coatings have been widely studied, systematic research on healing performance of the coating according to damage width has been rare. In addition, there has been rare reports of self-healing of the protective coating having damage width wider than 100 µm. In this study, self-healing performance of a microcapsule type self-healing protective coating on cement mortar was studied for the coating with damage width of 100–300 µm. The effect of capsule-loading (20 wt%, 30 wt% and 40 wt%), capsule size (65-, 102- and 135-µm-mean diameter) and coating thickness (50-, 80- and 100-µm-thick undercoating) on healing efficiency was investigated by water sorptivity test. Accelerated carbonation test, chloride ion penetration test and scanning electron microscope (SEM) study were conducted for the self-healing coating with a 300-µm-wide damage. Healing efficiency of the self-healing coating decreased with increasing damage width. As capsule-loading, capsule size or coating thickness increased, healing efficiency of the self-healing coating increased. Healing efficiency of 76% or higher was achieved using the self-healing coating with a 300-µm-wide scratch. The self-healing coating with a 200-µm-wide crack showed healing efficiency of 70% or higher. The self-healing coating having a 300-µm-wide scratch showed effective protection of the substrate mortar from carbonation and chloride ion penetration, which was supported by SEM study.

The self-healing ability can be imparted to the polymers by different mechanisms. In this study, self-healing polydimethylsiloxane-graft-polyurethane (PDMS-g-PUR)/Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) nanofiber supramolecular polymer composites based on a reversible hydrogen bonding mechanism are prepared. V2O5 nanofibers are synthesized via colloidal route and characterized by XRD, SEM, EDX, and TEM techniques. In order to prepare PDMS-g-PUR, linear aliphatic PUR having one –COOH functional group (PUR-COOH) is synthesized and grafted onto aminopropyl functionalized PDMS by EDC/HCl coupling reaction. PUR-COOH and PDMS-g-PUR are characterized by 1H NMR, FTIR. PDMS-g-PUR/V2O5 nanofiber composites are prepared and characterized by DSC/TGA, FTIR, and tensile tests. The self-healing ability of PDMS-graft-PUR and composites are determined by mechanical tests and optical microscope. Tensile strength data obtained from mechanical tests show that healing efficiencies of PDMS-g-PUR increase with healing time and reach 85.4 ± 1.2 % after waiting 120 min at 50 °C. The addition of V2O5 nanofibers enhances the mechanical properties and healing efficiency of the PDMS-g-PUR. An increase of healing efficiency and max tensile strength from 85.4 ± 1.2% to 95.3 ± 0.4% and 113.08 ± 5.24 kPa to 1443.40 ± 8.96 kPa is observed after the addition of 10 wt % V2O5 nanofiber into the polymer.

Protective carrier is essential for the self-healing of concrete cracks by microbially induced CaCO3 precipitation, owing to the harsh conditions in concrete. In this paper, porous ceramsite particles are used as microbial carrier. Heat treatment and NaOH soaking are first employed to improve the loading content of the ceramsite. The viability of bacterial spores is assessed by urea decomposition measurements. Then, the self-healing efficiency of concrete cracks by spores is evaluated by a series of tests including compressive strength regain, water uptake, and visual inspection of cracks. Results indicate that heat treatment can improve the loading content of ceramsite while not leading to a reduction of concrete strength by the ceramsite addition. The optimal heating temperature is 750°C. Ceramsite particles act as a shelter and protect spores from high-pH environment in concrete. When nutrients and spores are incorporated in ceramsite particles at the same time, nutrients are well accessible to the cells. The regain ratio of the compressive strength increases over 20%, and the water absorption ratio decreases about 30% compared with the control. The healing ratio of cracks reaches 86%, and the maximum crack width healed is near 0.3 mm.
