Abstract
A joint between two components (2, 4), with both components (2, 4) having joint faces (6, 8) which at least partially correspond with one another, which at least partially press against one another in the jointed state. The technical problem, on one hand, of preserving the advantages of an adhesive joint in comparison to mechanical joining systems, but simultaneously not increasing the outlay by the consumer and the outlay for handling the components, is solved in that a matrix (14, 16) is positioned on at least part of at least one of the joint faces (6, 8), multiple capsules (18) are positioned distributed in the matrix (14), a material of a reaction adhesive system is contained in the capsules (18), and at least a part of the capsules (18) at least partially release the material contained in them under external action. Also, a component having at least one joint face and a method for producing an adhesive matrix on a joint face.
