Scratch-healing poly (methyl methacrylate)-co-[poly (methyl metharyleate)-graft-(oligo-caprolactone)] urethane networks containing a Diels Alder (DA) adduct unit (GCPNp-DAs) were successfully synthesized and shown to be capable of undergoing thermally reversible crosslinking. The synthesized polymers were coated on steel substrates to investigate the influence of their material properties on their scratchhealing performance. The reversible formation of crosslinked and de-crosslinked structures of the GCPNp-DAs at DA and retro-DA (rDA) reaction temperatures was demonstrated using FT-IR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), oscillatory rheology, and nanoindentation. The scratch-resistance and healing performances of the GCPNp-DA coatings were evaluated quantitatively using a scratch test machine equipped with an optical microscope (OM) and an atomic force microscope (AFM). These results were found to be greatly influenced by the material properties of the coatings such as the elastic modulus, indentation hardness (H-IT), crosslinking density (v(c)), and thermal transition temperature as well as by whether the deforming load that produced the scratches was increased in a progressive (gradual) or step-wise manner.
