Abstract

A new self-healing thermosetting epoxy polymer with high cross-linked density was prepared using a diamine cross-linker with two Diels–Alder (DA) units and tri-functional triglycidyl p-amino phenol (TGAP). The curing and self-healing conditions of the TGAP-based epoxy polymer were examined. Under suitable conditions, the self-healing properties of the highly cross-linked polymer were studied via DMA and swelling tests. The different properties of TGAP-based self-healing epoxy polymers were compared to previously-reported lower crosslink density self-healing epoxy polymers and the influence of the crosslink density is discussed.
