The oligomer is a polymer composed of fewer repeating units, and the relative molecular mass of the polymer is generally less than 10000g/mol, wherein the oligomer diol is preferably polyether diol or polyester diol with the molecular weight of 400-8000 g/mol, and is further preferably oligomer diol such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) or polytetrahydrofuran ether glycol (PTMG). The diisocyanate is aliphatic diisocyanate or aromatic diisocyanate, preferably hexamethylene diisocyanate HDI or diphenylmethane diisocyanate MDI.

The invention provides a preparation method of a polyurethane elastomer material, which comprises the following steps:
(1) under the light shielding condition and under the protection of inert gas nitrogen, mixing and stirring the dried oligomer dihydric alcohol, the organic solution of the tetrahydroxy functionalized hexaaryl bisimidazole molecule, the catalyst and the polyol to obtain a mixed solution; the drying treatment comprises the following specific steps: and (3) vacuumizing and drying the oligomer dihydric alcohol at the temperature of 70-90 ℃ for 1-3 hours. The organic solvent adopted in the organic solution is anhydrous Tetrahydrofuran (THF), and the catalyst is dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL). The oligomer diol is dried to remove water therefrom so as to prevent water molecules from reacting with diisocyanate, resulting in failure to obtain the polyurethane elastomer material of the present invention. The inert gas protection is to avoid oxygen in the air from participating in the reaction, so that the self-healing light-controlled plastic polyurethane elastomer material cannot be obtained.
(2) Mixing diisocyanate with the mixed solution obtained in the step (1), stirring, and removing the solvent at the temperature lower than 35 ℃ to obtain a solvent-removed mixed solution; the solvent removal method can be, for example, to reduce the boiling point of the solvent to evaporate the solvent under the condition of vacuum, and the temperature for removing the solvent is not preferably too high, because once the diisocyanate is added to the mixed solution in step (1), the reaction is started, the temperature is too high, the reaction is too fast, so that the diisocyanate is cured in the process of removing the solvent, and finally, the cured material may contain the solvent or a molded elastomer material meeting the requirements cannot be obtained. And controlling the rotary evaporation temperature to ensure that the reaction system is still in a liquid state after the solvent is removed, so that the next step of curing and forming in a proper mould is facilitated.
(3) And (3) transferring the mixed solution of which the solvent is removed in the step (2) into a mould, and reacting for 12-48 hours at the temperature of 40-80 ℃ under the condition of vacuum pumping to solidify and form the mixed solution. The curing and molding are carried out under the vacuum pumping condition to avoid oxygen in the air from participating in the reaction, so that the self-healing light-control plastic polyurethane elastomer material cannot be obtained.
The invention provides a self-healing light-operated plastic polyurethane elastomer material and a preparation method thereof, wherein the elastomer material is prepared from the following raw materials: oligomer dihydric alcohol, diisocyanate, polyalcohol and tetrahydroxy functionalized Hexaarylbiimidazole (HABI) molecular switch. According to the invention, tetrahydroxy functionalized hexaaryl imidazole photochromic molecules are introduced into a polymer system, the prepared polyurethane material is in a double-crosslinking network structure, a tetrahydroxy functionalized hexaaryl imidazole photochromic molecule switch and polyhydric alcohol are crosslinking agents, hexaaryl imidazole in the network structure serves as a dynamic crosslinking point, and the polyhydric alcohol serves as a fixed crosslinking point. The dynamic cross-linking point refers to a molecule which serves as a cross-linking point under an external condition such as an illumination condition, wherein a bond in the molecule is dissociated to form two separated free radicals which are disconnected; and when the light is removed, the free radicals are combined again to form cross-linking points of a cross-linking structure. The fixed crosslinking point refers to a crosslinking point at which no linkage is broken under light irradiation.
The elastic modulus of the polyurethane elastomer material with the double-crosslinked-network structure is changed under the irradiation of ultraviolet light, the elastic modulus of the material is continuously reduced along with the increase of the ultraviolet light irradiation time, and the polyurethane elastomer material can be used as a light-controllable plastic intelligent material, such as artificial muscle responding to the ultraviolet light. When the polyurethane elastomer is subjected to a certain load, the material can continuously elongate under ultraviolet illumination. This process is reversible. When the load is removed, the material rebounds due to the existence of the fixed cross-linking point, but cannot rebound to the original length, and the material further rebounds to the original length by using the ultraviolet irradiation again. Specifically, under ultraviolet irradiation, C-N bonds between two imidazole rings of a hexaarylbiimidazole molecular switch are broken, so that two triphenylimidazole free radicals (TPIR) which are difficult to stably exist are formed, and after the ultraviolet irradiation is removed, the triphenylimidazole free radicals (TPIR) form hexaarylbiimidazole again. By utilizing the property of the hexaaryl bisimidazole molecular switch, when the polyurethane elastomer bears a certain load, two triphenyl imidazole free radicals are dislocated under the irradiation of ultraviolet light, so that the material is continuously elongated, and the network structure is rearranged. The deformation of the material can be well controlled by the light, the longer the light time, the larger the deformation, and the process is reversible. Due to the existence of the fixed cross-linking points, the material has good elasticity, the load is removed, the material rebounds, but due to the dislocation rearrangement of the triphenyl imidazole free radical, the material cannot rebound to the initial length, and the triphenyl imidazole free radical which originally undergoes the dislocation rearrangement can seek the triphenyl imidazole free radical at the initial position and is combined with the triphenyl imidazole free radical again by using the ultraviolet irradiation, so that the material can further rebound to the initial length.
In addition, the polyurethane elastomer material with the double-crosslinked network structure has excellent self-healing capability under visible light, and can be used as a self-healing intelligent material. The polyurethane elastomer material has excellent self-healing effect and short healing time, and the mechanical property of the healed material can be compared with that of the material without damage initially. Because the HABIS and TPIRs have thermodynamic equilibrium, the material with physical damage is placed under visible light, the material heals by itself, and the healing effect in a short time is excellent. Compared with most of the existing self-healing materials, the material has short healing time and does not need too harsh external conditions.
The polyurethane elastomer prepared by the invention has good mechanical and physical properties such as toughness, ductility and fatigue resistance, and has potential application markets in the aspects of drivers, soft robots, artificial biological organs, sensors, manufacturing industry, medical care, wearable equipment, medical appliances and the like as an intelligent material.
