The R & D project involves the development of a technological process for permanent and nondestructive joining of different textile or leather-like fabrics with a hard material using innovative microwave technology.
The innovative idea of the proposed solution is to use the potential of microwaves to directly connect top and bottom material of a workpiece with unsolvable adhesives. Therefore a primarily and selective heating of the adhesive and potentially the upper and lower surfaces of the workpieces is intended by exposure to a uniformly distributed microwave radiation. Based on appropriate preliminary investigation this can be achieved by an appropriate choice of the materials to be bonded.
