Automotive Structures: Design for Disassembly and the Role of Adhesive Bonding

Article Preview

Abstract:

A controllable adhesive disbonding mechanism can be achieved by activating functional additives located within the matrix of an adhesively bonded joint. This action facilitates the disassembly and material recovery from structurally bonded assemblies. The engineering capabilities of bonded joints containing a range of physical foaming agents were investigated. The effect of the physical foaming agents on joint disassembly was mostly attributable to the volumetric expansion efficiency of the additive whilst constrained within an adhesive matrix.
