摘要

H-bonds cross-linked polyethylene based on amide triazole ring-carboxylic acid units was prepared by reactive melt-blending. The multiple H-bonds with intrinsic reversibility can enhance the interchain interactions of polyethylene

imparting it with mechanical robustness

good creep and thermal resistance

and recyclability.

Abstract

Physical cross-linking by hydrogen-bonds (H-bonds)

providing a good combination of application properties of thermosets and processability of thermoplastics

is a potential strategy to resolve the recycling problem of traditional chemically cross-linked polyethylene. However

ureidopyrimidone (UPy)

the most widely used H-bonding motif

is unfavorable for large-scale industrial application due to its poor thermal stability. In this work

H-bonds cross-linked polyethylene was successfully prepared by reactive melt blending maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (PE-

-MAH) with 3-amino-1

4-triazole (ATA) to form amide triazole ring-carboxylic acid units. Triazole ring can easily generate multiple H-bonds with carboxylic acid and amide. More importantly

these units are more thermal stable than UPy due to the absence of unstable urea group of UPy. The introduction of H-bonds cross-linking leads to an obvious improvement in mechanical properties and creep resistance and a good maintain in thermal properties and recyclability. Furthermore

the reinforcement effect monotonically improves with increasing the density of H-bonds. The obtained good properties are mainly attributed to largely enhanced interchain interactions induced by H-bonds cross-linking and intrinsic reversibility of H-bonds. This work develops a novel way for the simple fabrication of H-bonds cross-linked PE with high performance through reactive melt blending.
