A series of Diels-Alder reaction cross-linked thermosets with recyclability and healability were prepared from furan-containing aromatic polyamide and bismaleimides with different chemical structures.The structures of synthesized bismaleimides were confirmed by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy;their reversible cross-linking with the furanic polyamide was further detected by 1H-NMR technique and sol-gel transition behavior.The dynamic mechanical analysis and tensile test revealed the variable thermal and mechanical properties of thermosets cross-linked by different bismaleimides and with different molar ratios of maleimide group to furan group (a/fur).The tensile test also demonstrated that the better recyclability and solvent-assisted healability of thermosets cross-linked could be achieved by more flexible bismaleimides.This work is expected to provide valuable information for design of recyclable and healable high-performance thermosets with desired properties.
