[mems-talk] Re: Miniature Hot Press for Plastic Microdevice bonding

[Philip D. Hewes]

Heiko,
While I don't know of any commercially-available press, there has been 
discussion on this list-server about what you need from a paper where 
the investigators mounted two hot-plates (one inverted...) in a 
hydraulic press. I didn't save the reference, but you should be able to 
find it in the archives. Depending on the polymer and your application, 
you may not be able to get enough thermal conductance for a strong 
bond, but as I recall the paper said it was  a successful technique.
