Developing strong, reliable bonds between polymers and metals has traditionally required adhesives or mechanical fasteners, adding weight, complexity, and limiting design flexibility. These conventional methods can also hinder product repair and recycling. But what if you could create durable, adhesive-free joints using only heat and engineered surface features? In a new paper, Enhanced Polymer-to-metal Joining,...
