Abstract
This study introduces a reversible graphene-based adhesive activated by microwaves. Single-lap joint tests reveal a 20 % increase in stiffness with no compromise in load-bearing capacity compared to unmodified adhesives. The adhesive enables clean joint separation within 70 s using only 1 wt% graphene, significantly reducing the use of nanoparticles and power requirements compared to conventional nanoparticle-based methods presented in the literature. This approach demonstrates improved energy efficiency and potential for recycling and reusability of components in automotive manufacturing.
