debond
Separate bonded surfaces
To debond is to separate materials that were previously bonded together.
The term appears in technical contexts—aerospace, dentistry, construction—where adhesive joints must be deliberately broken or fail unexpectedly: The technician debonded the composite panel for inspection.
Debonding can be intentional or a sign of structural failure: The tiles debonded from the shuttle's surface.
