| Popis: | Abstract A considerable number of papers have been published to assess self-healing capacity of several materials, as well as several applications in different areas. However, the impact assessment of changing synthesis parameters of microcapsules, hollow fibers or microvascular systems in its final physicochemical properties are still an emerging research field. This current paper presents a synthesis process of PU microcapsules containing TDI as core agent and the characterization of microcapsules physicochemical properties. During the synthesis, the reaction parameter stirring speed was changed to assess the impact that this parameter has in the final microcapsules’ physicochemical properties. Microcapsules were characterized by FT-IR, TGA and image analysis (OM and SEM). Additionally, microcapsules were incorporated to an epoxy matrix (5% weight/weight) to assess the impact in the final physicochemical and mechanical matrix properties. Epoxy-based test specimens were also obtained within aramid and silica, which are traditional reinforcing loads in rubber synthesis. Final mechanical properties of matrixes within aramid and silica were compared to the properties of matrixes within microcapsules to determine what kind of behavior the microcapsules have when incorporated to epoxy matrixes. |
