Thermosetting polyurethanes are widely used in various fields owing to their excellent elasticity, strength and solvent resistance. Three environmental friendly propyl gallate-based self-healing polyurethanes were prepared from polyurethane prepolymers with varying isocyanate content. The thermal stabilities of the polyurethanes were tested using thermogravimetric analysis. Their self-healing and mechanical properties were analyzed using a universal testing machine and dynamic thermomechanical analysis. The polyurethanes were found with high self-healing ability and excellent mechanical properties due to the absence of phenolic carbamate. These qualities improved with increased isocyanate content and the prolonged self-healing time. We found, therefore, that the propyl gallate-based polyurethane has potential for use in industrial applications as self-healing materials. © 2020, Tech Science Press. All rights reserved.
