Review of debonding techniques in adhesively bonded composite structures for sustainability

Complex geometries with long fibre reinforced polymer matrix composite structures are realised through adhesive bonding, with other composites or metals. However, they need to be disassembled during in-service or end-of-life phase. In the context of sustainability, greater attention in debonding technologies, tools and techniques is required for a better product life-cycle. This paper delineates the strategies, process steps and the important...
