Fusion Bonding/Welding of Polymer Composites

<p>This Special Issue reprint focuses on the latest advances and development of fusion bonding/welding of polymer composites. It contains research articles addressing materials processing modeling monitoring or performance issues with experimental or numerical approaches. Whatever the process e.g. resistance induction ultrasonic laser or conduction welding or 3D printing using fused deposition modeling one of the challenges is to master the interfacial phenomena structure and quality in the assembly area (welds) which is rather tricky due to the presence of the reinforcement fibers. Additionally it is of paramount importance to develop reliable predictive process simulation software and monitor and control the process parameters in situ.</p>
