New linear polyurethane was synthesized via a Diels-Alder (DA) reaction between a polyurethane prepolymer end-capped with furan groups (MPF) and bismaleimide (BMI). The structure of the linear polyurethane with DA bonds was characterized by H-1 NMR, ATI-FTIR, TGA and AFM. The introduction of DA bonds enables the polyurethane thermal reversibility, which was studied thoroughly by H-1 NMR, DSC and GPC. Besides, the new linear polyurethane with DA bonds also exhibits self-healing properties under heat treatment, which was observed by polarized optical microscope. The self-healing efficiency determined by the recovery of breaking tensile strength after being damaged and healed can reach up to 80%.
