The DETACH project aims to valorize UGent’s debondable adhesive technologies to enable sustainable, repairable, and regulation-compliant electric vehicle battery systems with detachable cells. Current adhesives hinder disassembly and repairability, which are challenges intensified by the EU Battery Regulation (effective August 2028). Responding to strong electric vehicle battery market pull, projected to reach USD 67.7B by 2032, DETACH will valorize two polyamide-based dynamic chemistries that support robust and reworkable adhesive solutions. The project focuses on designing curing agents, validating debondable adhesive performance, and demonstrating a proof-of-concept detachable battery module. DETACH will strengthen UGent’s IP portfolio and encourage licensing opportunities in electric vehicle battery and circular material markets.
