Clearcoat compositions and methods for forming a clearcoat compositions are provided. In one example, a clearcoat composition includes a binder portion A that includes a polyaspartic ester resin. An activator portion B includes a polyol-modified isocyanate that is a reaction product of a polyisocyanate component and a polyol component. The polyol component includes polycaprolactone polyol.

A shape-memory polymer that is melt-recyclable with high processability and little performance loss, in contrast to known Crosslinked semicrystalline shape-memory networks that are capable of storing large amounts of elastic energy with negligible plastic deformation but as thermosets are not easily melt-processed or recycled. In examples herein, catalyst-free isocyanate chemistry is used to prepare two linear poly(caprolactone)s with bisurea hydrogen bonding groups periodically positioned along the main chain. Compared to an entangled poly(caprolactone) homopolymer of similar molecular weight, the segmented poly(bisurea)s exhibit minimal stress relaxation when elastically strained at identical conditions. Furthermore, the materials' single relaxation times indicate chain reptation, and at sufficient temperatures, disentanglement occurs rapidly enough to perform melt-processing. The polymers show excellent shape fixity and recovery before and after shredding, melt-pressing, and annealing into a reprocessed film.

The present invention provides a polyaspartic composition comprising a reaction product of a polyamine and a Michael addition receptor reacted in the presence of a catalyst comprising a phenolic compound, with the proviso that the phenolic compound is not a phenol which is substituted with tert-butyl groups in both ortho positions to the oxygen. Suitable phenolic compounds include phenols, phenolic aldehydes, alkylphenols, benzenediols, cashew nut oil, and combinations thereof. Coatings, adhesives, sealants, composites, castings, and films comprising a polyurea composition may be made by reacting a polyisocyanate with the inventive polyaspartic composition. In particular, floor coatings made with the inventive polyaspartic composition have an elongated work time and a short walk-on time compared to current floor coatings.

Some variations provide a reworkable ionomer composition comprising: a polymer containing a plurality of ionic monomers disposed in a chain backbone of the polymer, wherein the ionic monomers have a monomer charge polarity that is either positive or negative; and a plurality of ionic species disposed within the chain backbone of the polymer, wherein the ionic species have opposite charge polarity compared to the monomer charge polarity, wherein the ionic species and the ionic monomers are ionically bonded, and wherein the ionic species are capable of undergoing a reversible oxidation-state transition of at least +1 or −1 when in the presence of a redox reagent. The polymer may be selected from the group consisting of polyurethanes, polyacrylates, polyamides, polyesters, polyureas, polyurethane-ureas, polysiloxanes, polycarbonates, and combinations thereof. Many options for ionic monomers and ionic species are disclosed. These reworkable ionomers are useful for many commercial applications, including coatings and polymer parts.
