Abstract  

The di-epoxy group-based N,N-diglycidyl-furfurlamine (DGFA) containing furan ring was synthesized via the reaction between epichlorohydrin and decylamine. Then a thermo-reversible epoxy resin (EP-DA) with self-healing performance is prepared by Diels-Alder (DA) reaction between the synthesized DGFA and bismaleimide. The structure and thermal reversibility of the prepared EP-DA were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Results show that the as-prepared EP-DA exhibits excellent thermal reversibility, which is confirmed by the appearance observation and absence of the infrared absorption peak of DA bonds before and after heat treated at 130oC. The as-prepared EP-DA has outstanding self-healing performance, which was approved via the qualitative observation of crack evolution and quantitative measurement of flexural load restoring by simulating crack repair. The width of cracks in EP-DA decreases gradually with the extending heat treatment time, while crack disappears completely when which is treated at 130oC for 6 min, indicating that the self-healing rate is very high and cracks in EP-DA have been repaired apparently in 6 min. The EP-DA with cracks can be repaired completely upon heat treatment at 130oC for 30 min and followed by 48 h at 70oC; Moreover, the EP-DA has outstanding multiple damage/self-repair performance, and cracks within EP-DA can be repaired for more than three times. The repair efficiency of EP-DA after cut in half and then put together can reach 71.7%, 61.6%, and 54.5% after damage/heat treatment for three times in turn. Additionally, the as-prepared epoxy resin exhibits excellent reprocessing performance and which makes the recycling of waste epoxy resin possible.
