ABSTRACT
In this study, eight types of networked Polydithiourethanes (PDTUs) were synthesized with the combinations of various dithioisocyanates, dithiols, and tetrafunctional thiols, and the self-healing behaviors of the networked PDTUs were observed. In particular, the networked PDTUs with an ether structure in the main chain (ET/ET/PE) exhibited a healing efficiency, which was estimated by the ratio of initial and healed toughness values, of up to 77% at 25°C for 24 h. Moreover, the healing efficiency of ET/ET/PE reached almost 100% under the healing conditions at 50°C for 24 h or at 25°C for 48 h. However, after four repetitions of the self-healing operation at 25°C for 24 h, the healing efficiency of ET/ET/PE decreased from 77% to 16%. Herein, the damaged ET/ET/PE was depolymerized at 150°C for 1 h, followed by repolymerization at room temperature, and the damaged ET/ET/PE was chemically recycled as the polymer that exhibited the same toughness and healing efficiency as the initial value. Since PDTUs exhibit a high refractive index and transparency, it is expected to develop applications as a self-healable and chemically recyclable optical resin.
