Evaluation of Peroxide Initiators for Radical Polymerization-Based Self-Healing Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The suitability of various peroxide initiators for a radical polymerization-based self-healing system is evaluated. The initiators are compared using previously established criteria in the design of ring opening metathesis polymerizationbased self-healing systems. Benzoyl peroxide (BPO) emerges as the best performing initiator across the range of evaluation criteria. Epoxy vinyl ester resin samples prepared with microcapsules containing BPO exhibited upwards of 80% healing efficiency in preliminary tests in which a mixture of acrylic monomers and tertiary amine activator was injected into the crack plane of the sample after the initial fracture.

A self-healing biomaterial based on free-radical polymerization.
Self-healing chemistry used for damage repair have not previously been demonstrated for free-radical polymerization pathways. However, this chemistry is important for addition polymers such as poly(methyl methacrylate) used in bone cement and epoxy vinyl ester used in dental resins. Self-healing biomaterials offer the potential for safer and longer lasting implants and restoratives by slowing o...

Exfoliated poly (Chloromethyl styrene-co-styrene)-g-polyacrylonitryle/organo- modified montmorillonite [P(CMSt-co-St)-g-PAN/O-MMT] nanocomposite was synthesized through solution intercalation method by using atom transfer and nitroxide mediated radical polymerization. At first, poly (chloromethyl styrene-costyrene) copolymer was synthesized by nitroxide - mediated “living” free radical polyme...
متن کاملSingle-chain polymers achieved from radical polymerization under single-initiator conditions.
Radical polymerization from a single initiator molecule in a microenvironment is a nearly ideal system in which bimolecular termination, solution concentration, and viscosity changes could be neglected. In this study, we provide two facile methods of preparing polymers via atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) under single-initiator conditions: tether initiators on planar substrates at su...
