This communication defines the key existing technologies for reversible adhesion and bonded joint disassembly, and introduces the reader to early experimental findings on the use of thermally labile functional additives in an adhesive matrix. The content of the communication is devided into some topics such as reworkable adhesive systems, electrically reversible epoxides, and functional additives. Materials combinations investigated have been discussed. The additives have been found to induce localized, out of plane stresses in a joint's bondline, allowing for an adhesive disbond. It has been found that the additive and adhesive matrix combination is key to the relationship between joint disassembly and joint strength.
