The invention discloses a high-
impact-resistance
elastomer composite material based on an organic-inorganic copolymerization strategy and a preparation method thereof. The
composite material is prepared through an organic-inorganic copolymerization strategy and comprises
metal oxide nanoparticles with the particle size of 1-10 nm and rich in unsaturated
metal sites on the surface as an inorganic phase and a
polymer network containing dynamic covalent bonds as an organic phase, the inorganic phase and the organic phase are connected through a
chemical bond to form a molecular-scale organic-inorganic
hybrid structure unit, so that uniform dispersion and strong interface combination of the inorganic phase are realized. The preparation method comprises the following steps: regulating and synthesizing
zinc oxide nanoparticles with rich unsaturated sites on the surfaces through a
regulator; carrying out pre-coordination
assembly on the
zinc oxide and a
lipoic acid monomer to form a
lipoic acid-
zinc oxide
hybrid monomer; and carrying out thermal
polymerization to obtain the
elastomer composite material. The elongation at break of the obtained material reaches 541% and is increased by nearly 12 times compared with that of pure polylipoic acid, the
impact force can be attenuated by 90% or above in a drop hammer
impact test, the impact
strain rate reaching up to 4000 s <-1 > can be borne, and damage self-healing can be achieved at the
room temperature without external force. The material has excellent
impact resistance, high
toughness, intrinsic self-healing ability and
solvent-resistant stability, the preparation method is simple and controllable, and the material has wide application prospects in the fields of personal protection,
aerospace,
flexible electronics and the like.
