A Review on Polymer Bonding Through Interdiffusion and Role of Deformation‐Acceleration
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 9, September 2026.Polymer bonding is reframed through deformation‐induced bonding, an energy‐efficient route that joins polymer films without conventional heat‐intensive or adhesive‐based processing. By comparing established bonding methods with deformation‐induced bonding, this review highlights potential energy and cost savings while identifying opportunities across ...
