[mems-talk] Polystyrene bonding problem

[Rashid, Mamun]

Hi Joe,
Thank you for your advice. I have think about the solvent bonding and
currently working on it. But still now have not achieved any good
result. 
Can you please advice me any protocol for the solvent bonding please ?
Any help will be appreciated.

I don't have much personal experience with it, but maybe try solvent
bonding. You coat one (or both) sides to be mated with some solvent to
melt it a bit and get it tacky, then mate, and it bonds. The trick is to
find the right solvent and use an amount and concentration that doesn't
distort your features.
