An adhesive article for use in a microwave oven is provided having a hot-melt or heat-curable adhesive substrate, and a susceptor layer of electrically conductive or semi-conductive microwave absorbing material that is disposed on at least a portion of the substrate. The article becomes less absorbent of microwave radiation upon the melting or deformation of the substrate. This article is suitable for adhering one adherend to another by exposing said article containing a hot-melt adhesive substrate to microwave energy.
