Lamination Process
Definition
Combining multiple material layers into a single structure using adhesives.
Historical Background
1970s: multi-layer technology incorporated substrates, adhesive, and release layers.
Example
Like a sandwich: bread, vegetables, meat layered together.
Formula
Lamination Strength = f(Adhesive Selection, Pressure, Temperature)
Core Concepts
Multi-material synergy: each layer performs its role for overall performance.
Extended Applications
Dry: solvent-based; hot-melt: medical; solvent-free: eco-packaging; extrusion: food; wet: water-based construction.
