Abstract: A polymer having a UV-responsive self-healing function at room temperature and its manufacturing method are disclosed herein. More specifically, the solid dynamic crosslinked polymer with a UV-responsive self-healing function is capable of being repaired and reprocessed through a dynamic exchange reaction of disulfide induced under exposure to UV radiation at ambient temperature when damaged after curing. The novel polymer with a UV-responsive self-healing function is capable of self-healing simply through UV exposure at ambient temperature. Therefore, it can be utilized in the recycling of thermosetting resins that are environmentally challenging to recycle in the plastic industry, and furthermore, serve as an alternative to address various environmental issues.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for preparing a swellable polymer to which an object is fixed. The preparation method of the present invention comprises a step of absorbing a solution of an object, which is dissolved or dispersed in a solvent with affinity for a swellable polymer, into a dried swellable polymer comprising a linker having a functional group that can bind to the object. Unlike a conventional preparation method in which an object is fixed before a swellable polymer is cross-linked, a method using a swellable polymer so as to fix an object after a polymer is cross-linked is used, and thus an object can be more rapidly fixed with efficiency higher than that of a conventional technique.
