Self-healing and reprocessable biobased non-isocyanate polyurethane elastomer with dual dynamic covalent adaptive network for flexible strain sensor
CHEMICAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL(2024)
Abstract
Owing to the nontoxicity of monomers, non-isocyanate polyurethane elastomers have attracted considerable attention, yet the synthesis and functionalization are still challenging. Herein, self -healing and reprocessable biobased non-isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU) elastomers with dual dynamic covalent adaptive network (DDCAN) by disulfide bonds and dynamic imine bonds were synthesized as substrate for the construction of flexible strain sensor with MXene as conductive substance. The tensile strength and elongation at break of the NIPU elastomer were 3.22 MPa and 234 %, respectively. Thanks to the formation of DDCAN, the NIPU elastomer showed high healing efficiency of 97.5 % after healing at room temperature for 24 h. Interestingly, the NIPU elastomer possessed superior reprocessing capability and the tensile strength after three reprocessing cycles reached 136.1 % of the original one, which was attributed to the increase of crosslinking points caused by topological rearrangement. In addition, the NIPU elastomer-based flexible strain sensor exhibited fast response (response time = 60 ms) and excellent repeatability (1000 bending -releasing cycles) and was successfully applied for human motion detection and speech recognition. The findings in this work conceivably stand out as a new methodology for the preparation of biobased and functional elastomers, which will greatly promote the sustainable development and application of flexible electronics.
