INTRODUCTION
Thermoplastic Composites
Synthetic plastics that can be melted, shaped and cooled to form
specific design shapes.
Polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene etc
Thermoplastic Welding
Complex, intricate joints with molecular bonds are more reliable and
effective than fastening or adhesive bonding.
Common welding techniques are friction welding, ultrasonic welding,
induction welding, gas welding and laser welding.
