摘要
An intrinsic self-healing polyurethane (PU) elastomer was synthesized in our previous work. In this work, three-dimensional (3D) micro-crack models based on experimental samples were further introduced to investigate their self-healing behavior, mechanism, and temperature dependence by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. In particular, the number, type, strength, and lifetime of hydrogen bonds as well as the microscopic behavior of molecular diffusion in the self-healing process were investigated. It was found that the self-healing capacity of PU mainly results from intermolecular electrostatic interactions, and the hydrogen bond plays a key role in electrostatic interactions. There is an optimum ratio of soft and hard segments at which the number of hydrogen bonds is appropriate and the self-healing capacity is optimum. Besides, the temperature has an optimal value at which the self-healing rate of PU is the fastest. The exchanges of hydrogen bonds, which endowed PU with self-healing capacity, were further revealed intuitively. We found that the exchanges of hydrogen bonds are reversible and more likely to occur on the urethane groups. This study deepened the understanding of the self-healing character of PU at the molecular level.
