Abstract
Covalent adaptive networks(CANs)are capable of undergoing segment rearrangement after being heated,which endows the materi-als with excellent self-healing and reprocessing performance,providing an efficient solution to the environment pollution caused by the plastic wastes.The main challenge remains in developing CANs with both excellent reprocessing performance and creep-resistance property.In this study,a series of CANs containing dynamic covalent benzopyrazole-urea bonds were developed based on the addition reaction between ben-zopyrazole and isocyanate groups.DFT calculation confirmed that relatively low dissociation energy is obtained through undergoing a five-mem-ber ring transition state,confirming excellent dynamic property of the benzopyrazole-urea bonds.As verified by the FTIR results,this nice dynam-ic property can be well maintained after incorporating the benzopyrazole-urea bonds into polymer networks.Excellent self-healing and repro-cessing performance is observed by the 3-ABP/PDMS elastomers owing to the dynamic benzopyrazole-urea bonds.Phase separation induced by the aggregation of the hard segments locked the benzopyrazole-urea bonds,which also makes the elastomers display excellent creep-resistance performance.This hard phase locking strategy provides an efficient approach to design CANs materials with both excellent reprocessing and creep-resistance performance.
