Abstract:
1. A method of bonding a polymer film to a mating part, comprising: placing a mating part in a nest; contacting the polymer film and the mating part; heating a die consisting essentially of a thermally conductive silicone and a thermally conductive backer to a temperature at least about 100 degrees C. above a glass transition temperature of the polymer film, the mating part, or both, wherein the thermally conductive silicone is located on the backer; actuating the die onto the polymer film, wherein the thermally conductive silicone contacts the polymer film and bonds the polymer film to the mating part to form a bonded article; and actuating the die away from the polymer film.
