Adhesive bonding has revolutionized the design of multi-material products, leading to advancements in producing thinner, lighter, and more durable materials.
This method, while superior to older techniques like welding and screwing, presents a notable limitation: The permanence of its bonds, which complicates recycling efforts.
In LIST, we address this challenge by introducing DEBOND-ON-DEMAND adhesives.
Inspired by the properties of intumescent flame retardants, these adhesives have been engineered to be responsive to heat stimuli, allowing for controlled separation of bonded materials post their service life.
Our technology emphasizes adaptability. By tailoring the activation temperature, we accommodate the specific needs of various materials, ensuring a versatile debonding solution that can be applied across diverse contexts and temperature ranges. This research not only furthers the field of adhesive technology but also promotes sustainability through enhanced recyclability.
