Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods for joining polymeric materials together may use lasers or broadband infrared heat sources. The polymeric materials are arranged in an overlapping manner and then are exposed to the heat producing radiation for a sufficient time to join the polymeric materials together at the overlapped area. Such systems and methods may avoid the need to add an energy absorbing dopant to the materials being joined. Such systems and methods also may be used on transparent materials.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method of joining at least two polymeric sheet portions, comprising: arranging a first polymeric sheet portion and a second polymeric sheet portion in an overlapping manner on a base support member such that a major surface of the second polymeric sheet portion is adjacent the base support member, wherein the entire base support member is formed of a non-metallic material that is selected from the group consisting of: graphite, a rubber material, a c…
