Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods are provided to produce new mechanoresponsive healing systems. Additionally, various embodiments provide a two tier self-healing material system concept that provides a non-intrusive method to mitigate impact damage in a structure ranging from low velocity impact damage (e.g., crack damage) to high velocity impact damage (e.g., ballistic damage.) The various embodiments provide the mechanophore linked polymer PBG-BCB-PBG. The various embodiments provide methods for synthesizing PBG-BCB-PBG.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A PBG-BCB-PBG polymer comprising: two polybutadiene-graft-poly(methyl acrylate-co-acrylonitrile) polymer (PBG) molecules bonded to a cis-1,2-bis(α-bromopropionyl)-1,2-dihydroxbenzocyclobutene (BCB) molecule to form the PBG-BCB-PBG polymer; wherein the PBG-BCB-PBG polymer is a self-healing mechanophore linked polymer. 2. The polymer of claim 1 , wherein the PBG-BCB-PBG polymer comprises: 3. The polymer of claim 1 , wherein the PBG-BCB-PBG polymer comprises: wherein 15 mol %≦x≦25 mol %, 75 mol %≦y≦85 mol %, and 5 mol %≦z≦15 mol %. 4. The polymer of claim 1 , wherein the PBG-BCB-PBG polymer comprises: wherein 5 mol %≦x≦15 mol %, 15 mol %≦y≦25 mol %, and 75 mol %≦z≦85 mol %. 5. The polymer of claim 1 , wherein the PBG-BCB-PBG polymer comprises: wherein 5 mol %≦x≦15 mol %, 15 mol %≦y≦25 mol %, and 75 mol %≦z≦85 mol %.
