Claim 0:
1. An article, comprising:
a first component comprising a first particle, first polymers, and first intermolecular bonding groups, wherein each first polymer is associated with the first particle and at least one first intermolecular bonding group; and
a second component comprising a second particle, second polymers, and second intermolecular bonding groups, wherein each second polymer is associated with the second particle and at least one second intermolecular bonding group,
wherein at least a portion of the first intermolecular bonding groups are bonded to at least a portion of the second intermolecular bonding groups, and wherein at least one of the first intermolecular bonding groups does not comprise a moiety that is the same as a repeat unit or precursor thereof in the first polymers, and
wherein a bond strength between at least the portion of the first intermolecular bonding groups and at least the portion of the second intermolecular bonding groups is greater than or equal to about 20 kJ/mol and less than or equal to about 100 kJ/mol.
