Thermomechanical characterization of reinforced and dismountable thermoplastic adhesive joints activated by microwave and induction processes

In this work, a thermoplastic adhesive used by automotive industries for bonding plastic components has been modified with iron oxide nanoparticles to ease the dismounting process. Two different processes have been considered for the joint dismounting, namely the already studied electromagnetic induction and an innovative microwave heating process. Besides the mentioned heating activation process, a full experimental plan has been designed that...
