A material comprising an encapsulated component within a shell, a rupture initiator associated with the encapsulated component, and a polymeric matrix material, wherein the encapsulation is adapted to fail upon activation of the rupture initiator allowing the encapsulated component to be liberated to initiate a reaction or increase the reactivity of the material.

A tire with in-situ generated two or more intrinsic puncture sealant layers based on ionic butyl with two or more different viscosities comprising a supporting tire carcass having one or more layers of ply, an outer circumferential tread, and a radially inner layer, a pair of beads, sidewalls extending radially inward from the axial outer edges of a tread portion to join the respective beads, a sealant comprising an outer layer of sealant and an inner layer of sealant, disposed radially inwardly from the radially inner layer of the tire carcass, wherein the outer layer of sealant and the inner layer of sealant have different viscosities, wherein the sealant provides self-sealing properties to the tire, and wherein the inner layer of sealant is cross-linked to the outer layer of sealant with no barrier separating the inner and outer layers of sealant.

Provided is a tire puncture sealant having excellent puncture seal durability. The present disclosure relates to a puncture sealant containing at least one natural rubber latex, at least one antioxidant, at least one antifreezing agent, and at least one selected from the group consisting of protease inhibitors and phosphatase inhibitors.

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.

Provided is a tire puncture sealant having excellent puncture seal durability.
