IKV studies techniques for laser welding dissimilar thermoplastics

摘要

Laser penetration welding is an established means of bonding laser-transparent and laser-absorbing versions of the same polymer. Researchers at the IKV plastics processing institute at RWTH university in Aachen, Germany, have now developed laser welding for dissimilar polymers. Details were revealed in a paper presented by research specialist Mathias Weber at the IKV Colloquium in March.
