Abstract:
A system for bonding or adhering a first substrate to a second substrate, comprising:a susceptor composition interposed between the first and second substrates, said composition comprising one or more ionomers and one or more polar carriers, wherein said polar carrier(s) comprise about 13 to about 25 weight percent of the composition with respect to the combined weight of the polar carrier(s) and the ionomer(s); and a radio frequency (RF) heating system for producing a fringe RF field that is used to heat the composition, said RF heating apparatus comprising: a power supply; and an RF energy applicator electrically coupled to said power supply, wherein said RF energy applicator comprises a first elongated electrode and a second elongated electrode, wherein a first end of said first elongated electrode is electrically connected to said power supply and a first end of said second elongated electrode is electrically connected to said power supply, wherein said first and second elongated electrodes are used to create said fringe RF field.
