We present here a small series of compounds designed to modify the polymer chain of various polyurethanes in order to introduce a structural fragment with the ability of thermally-triggered reversible covalent interactions. Bismaleimides (2a-2e) were synthesized from commercially available aromatic and aliphatic symmetric diamines (1a-1e) and were further introduced into the Diels-Alder reaction with furfuryl alcohol as dienophiles. The Diels-Alder adducts (3a-3e) were obtained as a mixture of endo- and exo-isomer. The presence of symmetrical hydroxyl groups in the structure of the obtained compounds makes them suitable as chain extenders of low molecular weight diisocyanate prepolymers. The presence of a thermally reversible Diels-Alder reaction adduct in the structure of potential chain-extenders opens a possibility to create unique materials with self-healing properties. All compounds obtained were characterized by 1H, 13C NMR, ESI-HRMS, and IR spectroscopy. The thermochemical parameters of the reverse Diels-Alder reaction were established using DSC analysis.

The interest in self-healing, recyclable, and adaptable polymers is growing. This work addresses the reversibility of crosslink formation based on Diels-Alder reaction in copolymer networks containing furfuryl and maleimide groups, which represent the “diene” and the “dienophile,” respectively. The copolymers are synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and free radical polymerization. The diene bearing copolymers are crosslinked either with a small molecule containing two dienophiles or with a dienophile bearing copolymer. The influence of the crosslinking temperature on the Diels-Alder reaction is analyzed. Furthermore, the influence of the glass transition temperature and the influence of the density of crosslinking groups on the thermo-reversibility of crosslinking are investigated by temperature dependent infrared spectroscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. It is shown that the reversibility of crosslinking is strongly influenced by the glass transition temperature of the system.
