METAL-ENCAPSULATED POLYMERIC ARTICLE

摘要

An encapsulated polymeric article is disclosed. The encapsulated polymeric article may include a polymer substrate and a metallic outer shell at least partially encapsulating the polymer substrate. The encapsulated polymeric article may be fabricated by a method comprising: 1) providing a mandrel in a shape of the encapsulated polymeric article, 2) shaping the metallic outer shell on the mandrel, 3) removing the mandrel from the metallic outer shell, and 4) molding the polymeric substrate into the metallic outer shell through a port formed in the metallic outer shell to provide the encapsulated polymeric article.
