The large number of applications of polymers has created the need to improve joining technologies to process them. Polymeric materials have a vast potential for exciting applications in areas such as the conduction and storage of electricity, heat and light; molecular-based information storage and processing; unique separation membranes; revolutionary forms of food processing and packaging; medical devices; housing; and transportation. The EU-funded PolyBright project addresses the need for joining polymers by advancing existing and developing processes for laser welding these materials.
