Abstract
A method of molding a polymeric containing article by exposing the article to ultraviolet radiation and a substantially uniform pressure. The method includes placing the precursor article within a pressure vessel and substantially filling the vessel with a solid, flowable, polymer medium that is substantially ultraviolet transparent under pressure. The polymer medium is pressurized so as to produce a substantially, uniform predetermined pressure on the surface of the article and the article is exposed to ultraviolet radiation that passes through the polymer medium to cure the article. Alternatively, the polymeric article may be passed through the medium containing vessel during exposure to ultraviolet radiation and a substantially uniform pressure.
