<p>Two articles (11, 21) are joined together with the aid of a gasket (3) comprising a laminar conductive polymer heating element (31). The gasket is placed between the articles and is heated by passing current through the heating element. Preferably, the articles are composed of a polymeric material and become fused to the heating element, or directly to each other through holes in the gasket. Alternatively, the gasket comprises a heat-activatable adhesive which secures the articles together.</p> |
