A method of preparing a self-healing composition is disclosed, the method including following steps. An isocyanate solution, a dihydric alcohol solution, and a metal salt solution are provided. The dihydric alcohol has heterocyclic structures. The isocyanate solution and the dihydric alcohol solution are mixed, causing the isocyanate and the dihydric alcohol polymerize to form a polymer precursor. The polymer precursor includes a hard segment and a soft segment. The hard segment includes urethane groups, the soft segment includes heterocyclic structures. The polymer precursor and the metal salt solution are mixed, causing the heterocyclic structures and metal ions to undergo a chelation reaction to form a coordination complex, thereby forming the self-healing composition. A self-healing composition prepared by the method, and self-healing film using the self-healing composition are also disclosed.

A polymerizable composition comprising a) at feast one cyclic amide, b) from 2.8 to 3.5% by weight, preferably from 2.9 to 3.1% by weight, of at least one blocked polyisocyanate, and c) from 1.2 to 1.4% by weight of at least one catalyst for the polymerization of the cyclic amide,
where the ratio by weight of components b) to c) is from 2.0 to 2.9 and the % by weight data are always based on the entirety of components a) to c).

One-component, moisture-curable polyurethane adhesives exhibit excellent handling strength before being fully cured, and excellent creep properties after curing. The adhesives include an isocyanate-terminated prepolymer made from polyols that include a crystalline polyester and hydroquinone bis (2-hydroxyethyl) ether, and a polyoxazolidine compound.

The present invention relates to curable polyurethane polymers made from renewable materials and having polymerization accelerator groups built into the polymer. In particular hydroxylated oleaginous materials derived from plant oils, such as soybean oil, are used. These renewable materials may be formed into curable polyurethane polymers having different chemical functionalities and cure mechanisms.

A method for functionalizing the surface of a substrate, performed in a supercritical fluid medium, may include: (i) providing a substrate having labile hydrogen functions on the surface; (ii) bringing the substrate into contact, in a supercritical fluid, with at least one organic molecule carrying at least one blocked isocyanate function which can be activated by heating; and (iii) subjecting the whole to a temperature sufficient to bring about the release of the blocked isocyanate function carried by the molecule, and the covalent grafting of the molecule by reaction of the isocyanate function with a labile hydrogen function on the surface of the substrate.
