Effect of temperature and strain rate on the compressive behaviour of supramolecular polyurethane

Abstract: Abstract. Supramolecular polyurethanes (SPUs) possess thermoresponsive and thermoreversible properties, and those characteristics are highly desirable in both bulk commodity and value-added applications such as adhesives, shape-memory materials, healable coatings and lightweight, impact-resistant structures (e.g. protection for mobile electronics). A better understanding of the mechanical properties, especially the rate and temperature sensitivity, of these materials are required to assess their suitability fo… Show more

“…In the first heating, an additional broad endothermic dip was observed starting at 40 °C. This was not observed in subsequent cycles, and may be associated with phase separation within the cast material which has insufficient time to reform equilibrium in subsequent loops given the cooling and heating rates imposed [24]; evidence of an additional structure in the 'raw' specimens is shown in the SAXS data below.…”

“…The nature of these noncovalent interactions permits the material, in common with other supramolecular polyurethanes [21][22][23], to be addressable as a result of its inherent thermo-responsive character of the supramolecular interactions, thereby delivering dramatic viscosity changes over well-defined and tuneable temperature ranges, as well as leading to the capability to recover a significant degree of their mechanical strength after damage. As a result of the non-covalent interactions within the network being relatively weak, the recognition motifs within the polymer can assemble or dissociate relatively easily as a consequence of the low thermal activation energy, making it, in common with other supramolecular polyurethanes and polyureas, easy to process at relatively low temperatures [24][25][26].…”
