The invention discloses high-elongation self-repairing
polyurethane and a preparation method thereof, and the preparation method comprises the following steps: step 1, in an
inert gas
atmosphere, carrying out catalytic reaction on
polyol and
isocyanate in a
solvent to prepare a
polyurethane prepolymer; step 2, adding an
imine chain
extender and a trihydroxy cross-linking agent into the reaction solution, and carrying out chain extension reaction to obtain self-repairing
polyurethane; according to the invention, a chain
extender containing dynamic reversible
imine bonds is adopted to carry out chain extension on a polyurethane
prepolymer, and meanwhile, a trihydroxy cross-linking agent is adopted to construct a three-dimensional
network structure, so that cross-linked polyurethane containing
imine dynamic bonds is prepared. The imine bond can be quickly exchanged at
room temperature, and after the imine bond is broken, the imine bond is different from a traditional straight-chain molecule but a branched molecule, so that the flow
processing is better, the molecular chain
collision probability is higher, the tensile elongation is better, and the self-repairing property is excellent at
room temperature; and the prepared cross-linked polyurethane can have excellent self-repairing performance at
room temperature.
