Abstract

Abstract While much research has been aimed at new approaches to the healing of cross-linked polymers, there is a dearth of effort in the healing of renewable cross-linked polymers. In this study, the healing ability of renewable polylactide-based vitrimers containing Sn(Oct)2 was investigated. The vitrimers were prepared from hydroxyl-terminated star-shaped poly((±)-lactide) samples that were cross-linked with methylenediphenyl diisocyanate. Cross-linked samples were prepared with isocyanate:hydroxyl (IC:OH) ratios of 0.6:1 to 1.1:1 and initial catalyst:hydroxyl (Sn(Oct)2:OH) ratios ranging from 0.013:1 to 0.050:1. The plateau modulus and Tg values for the cross-linked samples decreased with decreasing IC:OH ratio. The materials were subjected to stress relaxation analyses, which confirmed that the materials not only were vitrimeric in nature but also exhibited remarkably short characteristic relaxation times of less than 50 s at 140 °C. Finally, vitrimers fractured in uniaxial tensile testing were healed by compression molding and exhibited up to 67% recovery of ultimate elongation, up to 102% recovery of tensile strength, and up to 133% recovery of tensile modulus values.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
