Self‐Healing Polycaprolactone Networks through Thermo‐Induced Reversible Disulfide Bond Formation

Abstract: Polycaprolactone (PCL) networks with disulfide bonds are synthesized through a thiol-ene "click" reaction. The PCL networks have various functional properties, including self-healing, shape memory, reprocessability, and degradability. Pronouncedly, a healing efficiency of 92% on the yield strength of the PCL network is obtained after heating for 1 h at 60 °C. Meanwhile, the PCL networks show shape memory property with fixing ratio (R ) and recovery ratio (R ) at 98% and 95%, respectively. The PCL network still… Show more

“…Besides the extrinsic self-healing technique, reversible bonds are also attractive for obtaining a self-healable material. In a work presented by Zhang et al [227], smart poly(caprolactone) (PCL) networks were obtained by blending a disulfide monomer and a branched PCL cured with thiols via a thiol-ene reaction. The materials obtained were able to repair mechanical damages efficiently, and they also present shape memory, reprocessability and degradability.…”

“…Hydrogels are similar to the structure and function of the extracellular matrix, which can absorb and retain a large amount of water without dissolving in a swelling state [ 2 ]. Therefore, hydrogels have long been widely used in tissue repair, drug delivery, and other fields [ 3 , 4 , 5 ]. Due to the complex dynamic physiological and mechanical environment inside the human body, the hydrogel will appear with minor defects after implantation.…”

“…Intrinsic self-healing is achieved through reversible chemistry under various stimuli, such as thermal changes [7][8][9], light exposure [10,11], pH changes [12,13], and adding reducing or oxidizing agents [14], as well as through dynamic hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) [15][16][17][18][19], ionic interactions [20,21], metal-ligand coordination [22][23][24][25], and reversible covalent bonds [26][27][28][29][30]. Because they do not necessitate a complex manufacturing process, intrinsic self-healing systems are more suitable for applications such as rubber [31,32], coatings [33], adhesives [34], shape-memory materials [35,36], and electronic skins [37][38][39]. One common polymer widely used in such materials is polyurethane (PUR).…”
