Renewable polymers with self-healing ability, excellent elongation, hydrophobicity, and selective oil absorption attributes are of interest for an extensive range of applications, such as e-skin, soft robots, wearable devices, and cleaning up oil spills. Herein, two fully renewable eco-friendly polyamide (PA)-based self-healing elastomers (namely, PA36,IA, and PA36,36) were prepared by a facile and green one-pot melt polycondensation of itaconic acid (IA), Pripol 1009, and Priamine 1075 monomers. The molecular structures of these PAs were analyzed by FITR, H NMR, and C NMR. The distinct structure of these PAs shows superior strain values (above 2300%) and high ambient temperature autonomous self-healing ability. Interestingly, the synthesized renewable PA36,36 showed zero water absorption values and hydrophobic properties with a contact angle of θ = 91° compared to the synthesized PA36,IA and other previously reported PAs. These excellent attributes are due to the low concentration of amide groups, the highly entangled main chains, the intermolecular diffusion, the manifold dangling chains, and the numerous reversible physical bonds within the renewable PAs. Furthermore, the hydrophobic properties may aid in the selective oil absorption of the PA36,36-based foam, for which PA36,36 foam is produced by the green supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO) batch foaming process. The PA36,36 foam with a microporous cellular structure showed better absorption capacity and high stability in repeated use. Due to these advantages, these bio-based PAs have potential for the production of eco-friendly self-healing materials, superabsorbent foams, and other polymeric materials.
具有自愈能力、出色伸长率、疏水性和选择性吸油特性的可再生聚合物在广泛的应用领域备受关注,如电子皮肤、软体机器人、可穿戴设备以及清理石油泄漏。在此,通过衣康酸(IA)、Pripol 1009和Priamine 1075单体的简便绿色一锅法熔融缩聚制备了两种完全可再生的环保聚酰胺(PA)基自愈弹性体(即PA36,IA和PA36,36)。通过傅里叶变换红外光谱(FITR)、氢核磁共振(H NMR)和碳核磁共振(C NMR)分析了这些聚酰胺的分子结构。这些聚酰胺独特的结构显示出优异的应变值(超过2300%)和较高的环境温度自主自愈能力。有趣的是,与合成的PA36,IA和其他先前报道的聚酰胺相比,合成的可再生PA36,36吸水率为零,具有疏水性,接触角θ = 91°。这些优异的特性归因于可再生聚酰胺中酰胺基团浓度低、主链高度缠结、分子间扩散、多条悬垂链以及众多可逆物理键。此外,疏水性可能有助于基于PA36,36的泡沫选择性吸油,PA36,36泡沫是通过绿色超临界二氧化碳(scCO)间歇发泡工艺制备的。具有微孔泡孔结构的PA36,36泡沫表现出更好的吸收能力和重复使用时的高稳定性。由于这些优点,这些生物基聚酰胺在生产环保自愈材料、高吸水性泡沫和其他聚合物材料方面具有潜力。
