Self-Healable, Recyclable, and Reprocessable Poly(urethane-urea) Elastomers with Tunable Mechanical Properties Constructed by Incorporating Triple Dynamic Bonds

Guoxian Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, novel poly(urethane-urea) (PUU) elastomers with triple dynamic bonds were developed for achieving self-healing, recyclability, reprocessability, and customization of mechanical properties. The introduction of zinc ions for coordination with urea improved microphase separation and acted as nanoscale reinforcements, resulting in enhanced mechanical properties. The elastomers also demonstrated self-healing ability at room temperature or below 40 degrees C, and could be reprocessed and recycled. This work provides a new strategy for designing elastomers with tunable and advanced performances by combining macromolecular structure design with metal-urea coordination bonds.

Multiple Structure Reconstruction by Dual Dynamic Crosslinking Strategy Inducing Self-Reinforcing and Toughening the Polyurethane/Nanocellulose Elastomers

Weijun Yang et al.

Summary: A novel amorphous and transparent polyurethane/nanocellulose elastomer with excellent self-healing, self-reinforcing and toughening performance is obtained by implementing a dual dynamic crosslinking strategy through multiple hydrogen and disulfide bonds. The elastomer can fully self-heal within 4.0 h at 50 degrees C and exhibits significantly increased tensile strength and toughness after multiple hot-pressing. The self-strength and self-toughening effects are attributed to the reconstruction of dual dynamic networks and the presence of multiple hydrogen bonds.

Double Modification of Poly(urethane-urea): Toward Healable, Tear-Resistant, and Mechanically Robust Elastomers for Strain Sensors

Guoxian Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, a simple and feasible method for the modification of poly(urethane-urea) (PUU) was proposed. Two different dynamic cross-linking bonds (disulfide linkages and Zn2+/imidazole coordination) were incorporated into the side chain of PUU, resulting in double cross-linking elastomers (PUU-I/Zn-S) with excellent mechanical and healing properties. The PUU-I/Zn-S elastomer exhibited high tensile stress, elongation at break, toughness, and tearing resistance, and could restore its mechanical robustness after self-healing at room temperature or higher temperatures. Furthermore, strain sensors based on PUU-I/Zn-S showed remarkable sensing capability to diverse human body motions.
