The dynamic covalent bonds present in vitrimers can undergo associative exchange reactions, which allow maintaining a constant number of crosslinks at all times and temperatures. As a results, vitrimers can combine advantageous properties of thermosets and thermoplastics. Indeed, these materials are insoluble and exhibit a rubbery plateau. Yet, they are malleable, recyclable and can be welded when heated above the polymers transition state temperature, e.g. Tg and/or Tm. Due to the associative mechanism of exchange reactions taking place in vitrimer matrices, the change of viscosity of vitrimers as a function of temperature follows an Arrhenius law, just like glass and in striking contrast with thermoplastics. By local heating, vitrimers can be healed or re-shaped and depending on heating time, stress relaxation mechanisms and kinetics of the covalent reshuffling bonds, a shape memory effect or a new equilibrium state can be reached. The first epoxy/acid and epoxy/anhydride vitrimers were reported in 2011 based on transesterification of -hydroxy esters in the presence of Zn-catalysts. Since then, a lot of work has been conducted to gain deeper insights into the role of the catalyst itself and a variety of other transesterification catalysts have been tested. Vitrimer technology has been transferred to other ester-systems and welding of glass fiber composites was reported. Silica-loaded vitrimers, liquid-crystalline and hybrid systems with additional physical bonds have also been described. In addition to transesterification, several other dynamic covalent exchange reactions have been used to generate vitrimers. Transamination of vinylogous urethanes was proven to allow very fast stress relaxation and re-processability in highly crosslinked polyurethane materials. So far, almost all of reported vitrimer systems take advantage of dynamic covalent links inherently present in the polymer backbones. This structural feature, which can be a real advantage in terms of concentration of exchangeable functional groups, has so far considerably limited the scope of polymer matrices that could be turned into vitrimers. Indeed, ca. 70% of the world-wide plastics produced have backbones consisting of C-C bonds only. To transfer the concept of vitrimers to the totality of existing polymer matrices, while maintaining or improving processability, an adapted concept was designed and developed in the frame of this PhD. One of the general idea of the general concept presented is to introduce dynamic covalent links as pending side groups onto polymers containing only C-C bonds in their backbones. These functionalities can then be used not only to crosslink the polymer 2 chains, but also to allow rapid reshuffling the network and therefore polymer processing and recycling. However, important families of carbon-based polymers such as vinyl and olefin polymers are made via chain-growth. Taking into account these facts, a crucial step for the synthesis of these new vitrimer systems is the study of dynamic covalent exchange reactions that would display the thermal and oxidative stabilities and the chemical compatibility required to prepare and process these materials multiple times. In addition, as catalysts can be expensive, toxic and

Kopylovich Received: 4 April 2019; Accepted: 9 June 2019; Published: 12 June 2019 Abstract: Urethane groups formed by reacting phenolic hydroxyl groups with isocyanates are known to be reversible at high temperatures. To investigate the intrinsic self-healing of polyurethane via a reversible urethane group, we synthesized vanillyl alcohol (VA)-based polyurethanes. The phenolic hydroxyl group of vanillyl alcohol allows the introduction of a reversible urethane group into the polyurethane backbone. Particularly, we investigated the effects of varying the concentration of reversible urethane groups on the self-healing of the polyurethane, and we proposed a method that improved the mobility of the molecules contributing to the self-healing process. The concentration of reversible urethane groups in the polyurethanes was controlled by varying the vanillyl alcohol content. Increasing the concentration of the reversible urethane group worsened the self-healing property by increasing hydrogen bonding and microphase separation, which consequently decreased the molecular mobility. On the other hand, after formulating a modified chain extender (m-CE), hydrogen bonding and microphase separation decreased, and the mobility (and hence the self-healing efficiency) of the molecules improved.

  • Shockwave Energy Dissipation by Mechanoresponsive Materials
    SHOCKWAVE ENERGY DISSIPATION BY MECHANORESPONSIVE MATERIALS BY JAEJUN LEE DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Materials Science and Engineering in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2018 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Nancy R. Sottos, Chair and Director of Research Professor Kenneth S. Schweizer Assistant Professor Cecilia Leal Assistant Professor Christopher M. Evans ABSTRACT Shockwaves are characterized by high pressure and strain rate with extremely short duration about nanoseconds. Blast-induced traumatic brain injury sustained by personnel exposed to shockwave-generating high-energy explosives results in costly and debilitating health effects. Novel approaches for shockwave energy dissipation (SWED) are demanded since conventional impact absorbing materials do not provide sufficient shockwave attenuation. This research seeks to develop new approaches for efficient SWED in materials designed based on the availability of shock responsive chemical and physical reactions. A laser-induced shockwave test is developed to evaluate the energy dissipation performance of testing films. For a glass substrate, the input pressure of the shockwave with a Gaussian shaped pressure profile is tuned from 1 to 2 GPa by adjusting launch laser fluence. A fused silica substrate develops an initial stress wave to a triangle shaped pressure profile due to the nonlinear wave propagation properties, which allows the exploration of the duration time effects on energy dissipation. Benchmark energy dissipation values are obtained from polyurea films to provide a standard of comparison. The availability of energy dissipation by shock-induced microstructural changes and chemical reactions is investigated. In a series of network-forming ionic liquids (NILs) synthesized, each NIL possesses a different nano-scale structure consisting of charged clusters and alkyl domains.

Extensive patent search and discussion on technology development are presented. The key criteria for process development are identi®ed. The working principles of para-isomer selectivity improvements involve the reduction of diffusivity and the inactivation of external surface. In conjunction with the fundamental research, various practical modi®cation aspects particularly the pre-coking and the silica deposition techniques, are extensively reviewed.

In this regard, use of such proteins to derive plastics, especially thermoplastics and derived composites, has emerged as a potentially acceptable choice. However, the widespread use of such proteins for aforementioned applications is limited by their poor mechanical properties, high moisture absorption and their inherent odor. In this study, we have engineered, for the first time, high-strength, toughened thermoset polymers from proteinaceous materials obtained from the rendering industry so that they can be employed in high performance applications, such as in the automotive sector.
