Abstract

In this paper,a self-healing coating was proposed based on the shape memorybehavior of thermosetting resin and the fluidity of thermoplastic liquid rubber,and carbon black was used for photothermal healing. A photo-thermal responsive self-healing coatingbased on liquid rubber was prepared by epoxy resin matrix,thermoplastic liquid nitrile butadiene rubber(CTBN)restorative and photo-thermal filler carbon black(CB). The coating was characterized by infrared thermal imager,thermogravimetric analyzer(TG), scanning electron microscope(SEM), and optical microscope. The influence of CB filler on the photo-thermal property of the coating was investigated. The influence of healing agent on the coatingmorphology,properties and self-healing behavior was also studied. The results showed thatunder near-infrared light irradiation,absorption rate of the coating would be improved by bits of CB. Thus the photo-thermal property was greatly improved. CTBN as a thermoplastic restorative was dispersed in epoxy resin at microscale,then flowing and filling the crack. Thephoto-thermal property of the coating was increased with increase of CTBN. It was showed thatexcellent self-healing performance with 0. 08% CB,7. 69% CTBN under the light power density of 0. 8 W/cm2. Meanwhile,the corrosion resistance could be restored efficiently after crack healing.
