  text: In the context of decarbonization initiatives, the repairability and recyclability
    of components have become a major concern in various industrial sectors, particularly
    for resource-intensive components. The development of innovative bonding and debonding
    processes that must adhere to the stringent mechanical specifications of the manufacturers
    and facilitate their efficient disassembly is a major issue faced in the implementation
    of a sustainable circular economy. Although adhesively bonded joints satisfy the
    stringent requirements for mechanical performance, they present several challenges
    during the repair and recycling process. Solvolytically debondable epoxy resin
    adhesives may be employed to overcome this issue. In this study, we aim to conduct
    an exploratory feasibility study on the application of such chemical debonding
    mechanisms within an adhesive bond as well as to systematically analyse and evaluate
    the suitability of such adhesive systems for various applications. To this end,
    we employed various thermo-analytical methods and quasi-static tensile tests to
    characterise the mechanical adhesive and joint properties of two solvolytically
    debondable adhesive systems. Furthermore, we analysed the debondability of the
    adhesive joints and evaluated their feasibility in an industrial environment.
    The results indicate considerable application potential for solvolytically debondable
    adhesives, along with further development steps currently required.
