Abstract
A bonding method joins together a plurality of conductively coated polymers in a single operation. The method employs heat generation via a high energy source, whose output is focused by an energy director which causes fusing of the polymer surfaces along with fusing of the metal surfaces at their respective interfaces to form a robust electrical and mechanical bond.
