Abstract
An adhesive system is described as including an adhesive having dispersed metal particles whose function it is to emit heat for the purposes of breaking the bond formed by the adhesive when such action is desired. Specifically, metal particles are embedded within a suitable adhesive material which loses strength at a predetermined, relatively low temperature. When it is desired to break the bond formed by the adhesive, the metal-filled adhesive is placed in a rapidly varying magnetic or electromagnetic field so that the metallic inclusions transfer heat to the adhesive material, thereby raising it to a level which will break the bond formed thereby.
Claims1
An adhesive system for bonding two items comprising an adhesive material having permanent adhesive characteristics and which loses adhesive strength when heated, electro-magnetic energy absorbing elements in the form of metal particles imbedded in said material, capsules for enveloping said elements and an adhesive weakening solvent disposed within said capsules with said elements, said energy enabling weakening of said adhesive characteristics to break said bond.
