Our research are aim to study self-healing activities by action of core-shell
nano-capsules, sort of thermoset shell, Poly(urea-formaldehyde) (PUF), and
Bisphenol A Diglycidyl Ether (DGEBA) core. The technology will be used for
coating, auto and even starship painting, many of hi-tech but full of accuracy, to make
the layer self-heal automatically in room temperature. Now we have synthesized
submicron spherical capsules through modified in-situ oil-in-water mini-emulsion
polymerization method with Poly(Ethylene-Maleic-Anhydride) (EMA) as the
surfactants, mechanical agitated by ultra-sonic technology, and the size range and
distribution, as well as surface feature, were determined by Dynamic Light Scattering
(DLS) , Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Transmission Electron
Microscope (TEM). The chemical structure was determined by Fourier Transform
Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) images
expressed directly mass loss of each component, illustrating more accurate mass ratio
of core-to-shell, cooperated with FTIR. We designed the method by mixing capsules
into Polyurea matrix with brittle fracture under -40 oC, and demonstrated self-healing
properties by SEM images and quantization of Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA)
results in terms of loss modulus before and after healing stage.
