They’re the secret agents in countless constructions: adhesives. Like invisible heroes, they hold together what belongs together—especially in automotive engineering. They create crumple zones when the high-speed chase ends at a light pole. They keep battery housings watertight, even when the battery takes an unexpected dive into water. But in order to give valuable materials a second life, these "bonds" must eventually be broken. Evonik has developed a method to teach the adhesive how to part ways when the time comes. Dr. Alexander Azzawi explains how it works in an interview on ELEMENTS Digital. https://ow.ly/I8rU50XTTq4 #Evonik #ELEMENTSMagazine #Adhesives #CircularEconomy #Circularity #Debonding
