1. A method for chemically welding a first surface of a first substrate to a second surface of a second substrate, wherein both the first surface and the second surface include a thermoset polymer matrix, the method comprising
(a) contacting the first surface and the second surface with a small molecule solvent in the presence of a catalyst at a first elevated temperature for a first period of time;
(b) contacting the first surface and the second surface to form an interface;
(c) optionally applying pressure to the first substrate and second substrate, and
(d) evaporating the small molecule solvent.
