Synthesis of novel debondable adhesives
Debondable adhesives, also known as temporary or removable adhesives, are a class of adhesives that allow for easy removal of the bonded materials without damaging them. These adhesives have gained significant attention in various applications, such as in the automotive, electronics, and medical industries, due to their ability to provide a strong yet reversible bonding solution. Unlike traditional permanent adhesives, debondable adhesives allow for the temporary assembly of components, facilitating repair, rework, and recycling. This unique feature makes them an attractive option for manufacturers who seek to reduce waste and increase efficiency. In this context, the development of novel debondable adhesives and their optimization for different applications is an active area of research, driven by the growing demand for sustainable and cost-effective solutions, this thesis shows the methodology and concepts behind the development of various debondable adhesives which have different applications due to different debonding methods.
