In recent years, self-healing materials have garnered significant scientific interest, specifically focusing on macromolecular chemistry to tailor functional polymers with desired healing properties. This study presents the development of a hydrophobic, self-healable, UV-resistant smart polymer/metal-organic framework (MOF) composite for coating applications. The copolymer of glycidyl methacrylate and lauryl methacrylate P(GMA-co-LMA) copolymer was prepared for its hydrophobicity, flexibility, self-cleaning, and heat-induced self-healing properties, while the MOF provided antimicrobial and anti-UV capabilities. By incorporating MOF into the copolymer, a significant enhancement in these functionalities is achieved, alongside increased surface roughness and improved water contact angle. The copolymer was characterized using 1H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H-NMR), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC). Subsequently, the composite was analysed via FTIR, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), UV-Vis spectroscopy, water contact angle measurements, and antimicrobial tests. This innovative composite paints a promising picture for multiple smart applications, particularly in sectors requiring advanced durability and protection, such as military textiles, passport covers, and other high-performance coatings. The facile synthesis method highlights the potential for scalable production of multifunctional fabrics, aligning with current industrial needs for smart, robust materials with environmental resistance and self-repair capabilities.
