Harnessing Imine Chemistry for the Debonding-on-Demand of Polyurethane Adhesives.

ABSTRACT: Traditional adhesives often result in irreversible bonds, hindering disassembly and recycling processes. In response to the growing demand for sustainable practices, researchers have explored alternative bonding solutions. Debonding-on-demand adhesives represent a breakthrough, enabling selective weakening or breaking of adhesive bonds when desired and facilitating efficient disassembly, repair, and recycling of bonded materials. This has profound implications across industries, including packaging, footwear, automotive, and electronics, where the recycling of bonded components plays a crucial role in resource conservation. Herein, we present the incorporation of an imine-based polyol derived from vanillin and polyetheramine into a model, one-component, polyether-based polyurethane adhesiv
