This study developed a new perspective for recycling polyurethane and extending the service life of polyurethane-modified emulsified asphalt. The results showed that the emulsions of recyclable polyurethane (RWPU) and its modified emulsified asphalt (RPUA-x) had excellent dispersion and storage stability. RWPU possessed dynamic bonds and thermal stability below 250 degrees C. It provided RPUA-x with a strong physical cross-linking network and allowed for self-healing capabilities.
To recycle polyurethane and extend the service life of polyurethane-modified emulsified asphalt, this study developed novel perspectives fora lower carbon-footprint and cleaner preparation of recyclable polyurethane (RWPU) and its modified emulsified asphalt (RPUA-x) by using self-emulsification and dual dynamic bonds. Particle dispersion and zeta potential tests reflected that the emulsions of RWPU and RPUA-x existed excellent dispersion and storage stability. Microscopic and thermal analyses indicated that RWPU possessed dynamic bonds and maintained thermal stability below 250 degrees C as anticipated. Concurrently, RWPU provided RPUA-x with a strong physical cross-linking network, and a homogeneous phase was observed in RPUA-x after drying. Self-healing and mechanical evaluation results revealed that the regeneration efficiencies of RWPU were 72.3 % (stress) and 100 % (strain), respectively, and the stress-strain healing efficiency of RPUA-x was >73 %. The energy dissipation performance and plastic damage principle of RWPU were investigated using cyclic tensile loading. The multiple self-healing mechanisms of RPUA-x were revealed through microexamination. Furthermore, the viscoelasticity of RPUA-x and variations in flow activation energy were determined based on Arrhenius fitting from dynamic shear rheometer tests. In conclusion, disulfide bonds and hydrogen bonds endow RWPU with remarkable regenerative properties and grant RPUA-x with both asphalt diffusion self-healing and dynamic reversible self-healing capabilities.
