Abstract

A new multiblock copolymer self-healing strategy is reported that centers on the synthesis of block copolymers designed with different self-healing motifs incorporated into individual blocks. As a proof of concept, a novel pentablock copolymer (ABCBA) consisting of a poly(ethylene glycol) middle block and self-healable symmetric blocks of a polymethacrylate with pendant disulfide linkages and carboxylic acids is synthesized by a combination of consecutive controlled radical polymerization with hydrolytic cleavage. Disulfide exchange reactions of pendant disulfide linkages and metal-ligand interactions of pendant carboxylic acids with ferric ions allow for the formation of dual crosslinked networks with dynamic disulfide and supramolecular crosslinkages. The resultant networks possessing self-healing viscoelasticity enable self-healing on macroscale damages through supramolecular metal-ligand interactions and disulfide exchange reactions at room or moderate temperatures. These preliminary results suggest that the strategy can offer the versatility in the development of multifunctional self-healable materials in dual or multiple self-healable mechanisms.
