Bioinspired Healable Mechanochromic Function from Fluorescent Polyurethane Composite Film.

ABSTRACT: Camouflage and wound healing are two vital functions for cephalopods to survive from dangerous ocean risks. Inspired by these dual functions, herein, we report a new type of healable mechanochromic (HMC) material. The bifunctional HMC material consists of two tightly bonded layers. One layer is composed of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and titanium dioxide (TiO₂) for shielding. Another layer contains supramolecular hydrogen bonding polymers and fluorochromes for healing. The as-synthesized HMC material exhibits a tunable and reversible mechanochromic function due to the strain-induced surface structure of composite film. The mechanochromic function can be further restored after damage because of the incorporated healable polyurethane. The healing efficiency of the damaged HMC materials can even reach 98?% at 60?°C for 6?h. The bioinspired HMC material is expected to have potential applications in the information encryption and flexible displays.

Project description:The hybrid composite of silver nanowires (AgNWs) and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) was synthesized in situ by an improved polyol-thermal method. The AgNWs-RGO with mass contents of 5-37 wt% was added into the thermo-reversible Diels-Alder reaction polyurethane (DA-PU) matrix with the AgNWs as the main conductor and the RGO as the auxiliary conductor to prepare self-healing composite conductive films. Further, the electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, mechanical properties, infrared thermal response, and self-healing property of the composite film under infrared light irradiation were studied. The experimental results demonstrate that the AgNWs-RGO endows the composite film with good electrical and thermal conductivity and infrared thermal response ability, while the mechanical properties of the composite film decrease as the AgNWs-RGO mass content increases. The self-healing efficiency of the composite film is higher than that of the pure DA-PU under infrared light irradiation due to the good infrared photothermal response ability of the AgNWs-RGO. When the mass content of AgNWs-RGO in the composite film was 25 wt%, the AgNWs-RGO showed good dispersion in composite films, and the resistivity, thermal conductivity, and tensile strength of the composite film were 0.544 Ω·m, 0.3039 W·m-1·K-1, and 9.05 MPa, respectively. The infrared photothermal conversion temperature of the composite film is 158.5 °C (3450 lux for 1 min), and the infrared photothermal self-healing efficiency is 118% (3450 lux for 600 s). The AgNWs-RGO also improves the multiple self-healing ability of the composite film. The use of a high mass content of AgNWs-RGO in the composite film is beneficial in obtaining high multiple self-healing efficiencies. The first and the fifth infrared thermal self-healing efficiencies of the composite film with AgNWs-RGO of 35 wt% are 105% and 86%, respectively, and the resistivity of the composite film changes little and still maintains good conductivity.
