State of the Art in Fusion Bonding of Polymer Composites

  • Chapter
Fusion Bonding of Polymer Composites

Part of the book series: Engineering Materials and Processes ((EMP))

Abstract

An ideal structure would be designed without joints, since joints are sources of weakness and additional weight. In, practice however, the upper limit to component size is generally determined by the manufacturing processes. Further requirements for inspection, accessibility, repair and transportation or assembly mean that load-bearing joints will be part of an engineering structure (Matthews, 1987). This is particularly so in the manufacturing of TPMCs, for which high meltresin viscosity and constraints imposed by the continuous reinforcement limit the production to relatively simple geometry components that must be joined together to produce large, complex structures (Hou et al., 1999). The extensive experience available from the TP polymer industry showed that, to make large or complex parts, the most cost-effective method often involves moulding two or more parts and joining them together (Grimm, 1995).
