The application discloses a self-repairing
polyurethane phase change material based on a
polyethylene glycol /
hexamethylene diisocyanate trimer dynamic semi-interpenetrating network and a preparation method thereof. The method comprises the following steps: in-situ constructing a dynamic cross-linked
polyurethane network matrix with
solid-
solid phase change capacity by using
polyethylene glycol with a number average molecular weight of 2000,
hexamethylene diisocyanate trimer and 2,2'-diamino
diphenyl disulfide, introducing 30wt.%-70wt.% of
cetyl alcohol in the total
mass of the material into the network matrix
system and solidifying to obtain the
phase change material; and the
mass ratio of the
polyethylene glycol and the
cetyl alcohol is 1:0.43-1:2.33. In the material, the
cetyl alcohol is physically inserted in the three-dimensional network space formed by the dynamic cross-linked
polyurethane network in the form of a non-covalent dispersed phase, and the PEG
soft segment in the dynamic cross-linked polyurethane network matrix and the cetyl
alcohol both retain reversible
crystallization capacity, thereby forming a dynamic semi-interpenetrating network
system in which the network matrix phase and the dispersed phase jointly participate in heat storage. Compared with the existing polyurethane-based
phase change material which mainly relies on a long-chain
fatty alcohol dispersed phase to store heat, the material has good heat storage capacity, zero leakage performance, shape stability and thermal stimulus self-repairing performance, and can be applied to the fields of
heat management and heat storage.
