A reactive blend of electroactive polymers exhibiting synergistic effects on self-healing and anticorrosion properties

Abstract

Reactive blends of polymers provide a convenient and effective approach to prepare functional materials exhibiting integrated or synergistic properties. In this work we report the first electrically-induced self-healing anticorrosion material composed of (a) an electrically-responsive crosslinked polymer of ferrocene modified poly(glycidylmethacrylate) and a difunctional β-cyclodextrin compound and (b) an electroactive polymer of aniline trimer. The two components exhibit synergistic effects on both self-healing and anticorrosion properties. A 94% of protection efficiency for anticorrosion and a 92.5% self-healing recovery of anticorrosion protection efficiency have been recorded.
