METHODS OF BONDING AND ARTICLES FORMED THEREBY

摘要

A method of bonding a polymer film to a mating part, including:
placing a mating part in a nest;contacting the polymer film and the mating part;heating a die including a thermally conductive silicone to a temperature at or above a glass transition temperature of the polymer film, the mating part, or both;actuating the die onto the polymer film, wherein the thermally conductive silicone contacts the polymer film and bonds the polymer film to the mating part to form a bonded article; andactuating the die away from the polymer film.
