A cure-on-demand adhesive kit capable of self-sustaining frontal polymerization after a heat or actinic radiation trigger for bonding two substrates is provided. The kit includes a first monomer/oligomer component and a UV or thermal cure catalyst component. In practical application, the first monomer/oligomer component and the UV or thermal cure catalyst component are mixed together to form a ready-to-use prepolymer mixture. The prepolymer mixture is applied onto the surface of a first substrate, and the first substrate is contacted with a second substrate by the mixture applied side. After giving a heat or actinic radiation trigger, a self-sustaining frontal polymerization of the mixture will be started for curing the mixture between two substrates as an adhesive to adhere the two substrates.
