Thermal welding of polymeric biomaterials: Development of a novel device for temperature controlled local application

Abstract: We present a thermal processing device, equipped for local heating and welding of biomaterials, e.g. electrospun nonwovens or polymer films. Depending on the application and choice of materials, we aim to determine appropriate processing parameters for permanent and non-permanent welds. Due to the modular device structure, applicationspecific heating tools can be used. Process temperature up to 250 °C is feasible. In this concept study, a welding tool with interchangeable small-size heating tips of different geometric shapes were investigated regarding their suitability for welding of polycarbonate urethane based silicone elastomer nonwovens. Generated welds were examined by imaging techniques and tensile testing. Regardless of the tip shape, welds were generated withstanding forces up to 3.0 N and 4.3 N for tensile and shear loading, respectively.
