Preparation and Self-healing Properties of New Aliphatic Polycarbonate Elastomers with Physical Crosslinking and π-π-Conjugated Synergy
using physical cross-linking interaction to develop self-healing elastomers is one of the effective ways. However
the mechanical properties and self-healing properties of the elastomers are contradictory. In this study
5-methyl-5-benzyloxycarbonyl dimethylene carbonate (MBC) and 5-methyl-5-(4-nitro) benzyloxycarbonyl dimethylene carbonate (MNBC) were first prepared
and then the target materials were obtained by ring-opening polymerization with mPEG and MBC and MNBC
and the best preparation process was determined. The chemical structure and thermal behavior of aliphatic monomers and polycarbonate were characterized by infrared spectroscopy
nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The crosslinking mechanism of aliphatic polycarbonate forming gel was discussed. The transition from linear polymer to network elastomer is controlled by adjusting the ratio of initiator to monomer
the ratio between monomers and the reaction temperature. Meanwhile
the swelling behavior
gel content
swelling rate
water content and mechanical properties of the elastomer were characterized by means of equilibrium swelling method and dynamic thermodynamic analysis. In addition
the bending experiment verifies that the elastomer has a certain shape memory performance
and the scratch experiment verifies that the elastomer has a good room temperature Self-healing performance.
