摘要

We report interfacial welding between epoxy vitrimers and an epoxy vitrimer and a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Catalyst-controlled interfacial properties for both the vitrimer/vitrimer and vitrimer/TPU are observed. The more efficient the catalyst for the transesterification reactions

the larger the interfacial fracture energy is

and the better the welding strength will be.

Abstract

Interfacial welding of thermosetting polymers has been a challenge

but vitrimers with dynamic covalent networks open numerous opportunities for welding and adhesion of these materials. In this work

we performed interfacial welding between epoxy-based vitrimers and an epoxy vitrimer and a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Catalyst-controlled interfacial mechanical properties for both the vitrimer/vitrimer and vitrimer/TPU are observed

that is

the more efficient the catalyst for the transesterification reactions

the larger the interfacial fracture energy is

and the better the welding strength will be. The interfacial mechanical properties are also found to be independent of the original mechanical properties of the vitrimers. Even for a vitrimer with poor mechanical properties

both the welded vitrimer/vitrimer and vitrimer/TPU exhibit larger interfacial fracture energy than the one with better mechanical properties as long as the former uses more efficient catalyst.
