Adhesive bonds offer significant benefits for circularity compared to other types of structural bonds, such as screws or welds. These bonds allow for less invasive assemblies, reducing the need for drilling or thermal processes that damage materials, which facilitate their reuse. In addition, adhesive bonds can be designed for easy disassembly, a key factor for …
