ABSTRACT
In light of the depletion of petrochemical resources and increase in environmental pollution, there has been a significant focus on utilizing natural biomass, specifically lignin, to develop sustainable and functional materials. This research presents the development of a lignin-based polyurethane (DLPU) with photothermal-responsiveness by incorporating lignin and oxime-carbamate bonds into polyurethane network. The abundant hydrogen bonds between lignin and the polyurethane matrix, along with its cross-linked structure, contribute to DLPU's excellent mechanical strength (30.2 MPa) and toughness (118.7 MJ·m-3). Moreover, the excellent photothermal conversion ability of DLPU (54.4 %) activates dynamic reversible behavior of oxime-carbamate bonds and hydrogen bonds, thereby endowing DLPU with exceptional self-healing performance. After 15 min of near-infrared irradiation, DLPU achieves self-healing efficiencies of 96.0 % for tensile strength and 96.3 % for elongation at break. Additionally, DLPU exhibits photocontrolled solid-state plasticity as well as an excellent phototriggered shape-memory effect (70 s), with shape fixity and recovery ratios reaching 98.8 % and 95.3 %, respectively. By exploiting the spatial controllability and photothermal-responsiveness of DLPU, we demonstrate multi-dimensional responsive materials with self-healing and shape-shifting properties. This work not only promotes the development of multi-functional polyurethanes but also provides a pathway for the high-value utilization of lignin.
