    Example 1: Preparation of a Binary Base Polyrotaxane

    [0158] 94.43 g of a RAMEB solution (RAMEB: partly methylated -cyclodextrin, Wacker Chemie) in water (50 wt %, 36 mmol) are admixed with 1.35 ml (1.12 g, 10.8 mmol) of styrene (distilled) and 5 ml of methanol (synthetic grade). Then nitrogen is introduced over 1 h. 0.140 g, 0.43 mmol of radical initiator VA044 (2,2-azobis[2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane) is dissolved with 1 ml of distilled water and likewise degassed for 5 min with nitrogen. After 1 h the system is closed. The reaction mixture is admixed with 8.2 ml (4.9 g, 72 mmol) of 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene, 0.042 ml of carbon tetrachloride chain transfer agent (0.1 mol % on the polymer chain, degassed for 5 min) and the initiator VA044. Subsequently the temperature was adjusted to 38 C. and the reaction mixture was stirred further for 48 h.

    [0159] After the end of the reaction, the polyrotaxane-water mixture is added to cold water containing 10 vol % EtOH and flushed with nitrogen for 20 min. After the filtration, the procedure is repeated twice more. The precipitated polyrotaxane is subsequently dried for 3 d in a vacuum drying cabinet at 80 C. and dissolved in chloroform; following concentration of the chloroform, THF was added and the product was subsequently dried under reduced pressure. Analysis by gel permeation chromatography gives an average molecular weight of M=80 000 g/mol.

Then nitrogen is introduced over 1 h. 0.140 g, 0.43 mmol of radical initiator VA044 (2,2-azobis[2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane) is dissolved with 1 ml of distilled water and likewise degassed for 5 min with nitrogen. After 1 h the system is closed.

Subsequently the temperature was adjusted to 38 C. and the reaction mixture was stirred further for 48 h. After the end of the reaction, the polyrotaxane-water mixture is added to cold water containing 10 vol % EtOH and flushed with nitrogen for 20 min. After the filtration, the procedure is repeated twice more. The precipitated polyrotaxane is subsequently dried for 3 d in a vacuum drying cabinet at 80 C. and dissolved in chloroform; following concentration of the chloroform, THF was added and the product was subsequently dried under reduced pressure.

    [0162] The molar mass and dispersities of the polymers were measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) at room temperature. Separation took place with two columns from PSS (Polymer Standards Service, Mainz, Germany (PSS)) SDV 10.sup.3 and 10.sup.5 . The recording was made using a refractive index detector (Shodex RI-101).

    [0195] Shaped Articles

    Example 24: Production of Shaped Articles of PR-171127-/PR-171121x % SiO.SUB.2./GPTES

    [0196] Shaped articles with a size of 25 mm25 mm1 mm (for DE spectroscopy) and 20 mm10 mm1 mm (for DMTA measurements; FIGS. 8, 9, and 10) are produced in PTFE casting molds. The casting molds are each cautiously filled, without air bubbles, with the mixtures from examples 6-11, and the solvent is removed in a vacuum drying cabinet at 60 C. for 1 h under 300 mbar, without starting the crosslinking reaction. This procedure is repeated a total of ten times, until the solvent-free shaped article has reached a thickness of around 1 mm. Thereafter the entire layer construction is dried in a vacuum drying cabinet at 60 C. for 12 h at 100 mbar to remove residual solvent. The final curing of the mixtures in the casting mold takes place subsequently over 30 h at 120 C. The resulting shaped article is transparent and slightly yellowish.

    [0201] Time-Temperature Dependence of the Self-Healing

    [0202] For this, at different temperatures, the time (t) up to the disappearance of scratches (scratch depth around 0.8 m-1.2 m (after scratch test with 50 g) was measured.

    [0203] Table 1 shows the results for PR modified with MPS hydrolyzate (measurement on black paint).

    [0206] Table 4 shows the results for the hydrophobized systems.

    [0207] It emerges that the addition of component b) does not restrict the capacity of the material to self-heal, and in part in fact improves it. This is also apparent from the values measured in FIG. 7.

    [0208] Table 5 shows the results of the measurement of the contact angle (measurement on stainless steel) against H.sub.2O for PR modified with SiO.sub.2/GPTES with and without hydrophobizing on the polymer matrix.
