dominant joining method in shoes, which are produced as fashion items in very large quantities. In the spirit of a circular economy, separating the different materials is indispensable\u2014and it must be economically feasible. Therefore, the research project focuses on the development of specifically detachable adhesive bonds for use in shoes.\nWithin the scope of the project, the two main components, the upper and the sole, are initially considered. These should be separated so that the materials can be fed into specific recycling processes (e.g., PET or PUR solvolysis and chromium recovery from leather). The model adhesives to be developed should be applicable like the adhesives commonly used today.\nThe detachment is then achieved through a defined treatment, preferably one that can be carried out in bulk. Accidental detachment during shoe manufacturing or proper shoe use is excluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal of the project is to provide model adhesives on the basis of which commercial adhesives can be developed that are suitable for bonding shoe uppers to soles in a manner similar to current adhesives. The design principle is targeted debonding through the inclusion of thermally cleavable groups. Microwave heating is intended to be established as the preferred trigger for selective heating of the adhesive layer due to its scalability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The research project focuses on the development of specifically deactivatable adhesive bonds for use in shoes. This creates the possibility to separate at least the main assemblies\u2014the upper and the sole\u2014and feed them into specific recycling processes. The adhesive meets the requirements of regular, industry-established products in the footwear sector and is deactivated through a defined treatment. Accidental detachment during shoe manufacturing or proper shoe use is excluded.\nThe adhesives are being developed based on solvents, as their synthesis also takes place in solvents. A later transfer to solvent-free adhesives is intended. A benefit is projected for the entire German footwear industry, which is strongly characterized by SMEs, as current legislation affects both manufacturers and importers. The laws specifically target the \u201ccreation of an economic system for the collection, sorting, reuse, preparation for reuse, and recycling.\u201d According to HDSL, an average of 428 million pairs of shoes are sold annually in Germany, all of which should ultimately be recycled.\nThe prevailing material diversity has so far hindered mechanical-thermal recycling, where thermoplastics are remelted. In chemical recycling processes, some materials have negative effects\u2014for example, metals in all processes, polyester with polyamides, and polyether with polyesters. The adhesive to be developed will facilitate the separation of composite materials.\nThe project\u2019s accompanying committee can map the entire product lifecycle. 66% of the committed participants are SMEs from shoe production, adhesive manufacturing, and recycling.\nThrough networking the research institutions with other industries, knowledge transfer to sectors such as automotive, furniture, and mechanical engineering is highly likely, alongside teaching activities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull has-black-color has-white-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-e9047171ad799eac591709b38fe70cf9 has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-00f6ac5c wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;border-top-left-radius:50px;border-top-right-radius:100px;border-bottom-left-radius:200px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:0;padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-left:0\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-pfi-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color has-x-large-font-size wp-elements-4a623ccb3a3ea4ce52332fe6baacd182\">Any questions about the project?<br>Your Contact Person: <\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-left:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignwide has-global-padding is-content-justification-center is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-59469b1c wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-right:0;padding-left:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center has-pfi-grey-background-color has-background is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"border-radius:20px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);flex-basis:100%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-5007e10c wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-right:0;padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-left:0\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized has-custom-border\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2460\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/pfi-germany.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_1149360661-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4231\" style=\"border-radius:10px;aspect-ratio:3\/4;object-fit:cover;width:146px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pfi-germany.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_1149360661-scaled.jpeg 2460w, https:\/\/pfi-germany.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_1149360661-288x300.jpeg 288w, https:\/\/pfi-germany.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_1149360661-984x1024.jpeg 984w, https:\/\/pfi-germany.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_1149360661-768x799.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/pfi-germany.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_1149360661-50x52.jpeg 50w, https:\/\/pfi-germany.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_1149360661-1600x1665.jpeg 1600w, https:\/\/pfi-germany.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_1149360661-1476x1536.jpeg 1476w, https:\/\/pfi-germany.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/AdobeStock_1149360661-1968x2048.jpeg 1968w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2460px) 100vw, 2460px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-3fc64daf wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-pfi-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-d856a6cb7b863e31b1842984a144de17\" style=\"font-size:clamp(0.984rem, 0.984rem + ((1vw -
