Abstract
This work focused on obtaining a low-temperature powder coating characterized by self-healing properties. To achieve this, acrylic resin, blocked polyisocyanates (bPICs) with 1,2,4-triazole, and unsaturated commercial resin were used. The synthesis of bPICs with triazole enabled the low-temperature curing and reversible Diels-Alder (DA) reaction at 160 °C. The chemical structure of bPICs was confirmed using 1H-NMR. The occurrence of the DA and retro-DA (rDA) reactions in the crosslinked polymer, at temperatures of 60-85 °C and 90-130 °C, respectively, was confirmed using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), and FT-IR spectroscopy. The self-healing properties of the powder coating were examined using polarized optical microscopy. Additionally, the occurrence of the DA and rDA reactions between triazole and unsaturated polyester resin was investigated through repeated self-healing tests.
