Microwave welding of thermoplastics
Source abstract
Abstract
The aim of this work was to develop a new and versatile method for welding thermoplastics using microwave energy. A multimode cavity applicator was developed including features designed to deliver an even energy density and to apply weld pressure. A review of possible microwave susceptible implant materials was undertaken and results of welding trials using several candidate materials showed that this is a feasible welding technique.
