Summary Reactive Multilayer Systems as tailored heat sources for plastic bondings The use of reactive multilayer systems (RMS) as a heat source for the manufacturing of thermoplastic material bondings makes it possible to completely or partially overcome the limitations of conventional joining techniques, such as gluing or welding. The release of energy, which takes place directly inside the joining zone within milliseconds can be well adapted to the properties of the plastics. Thus undesired changes in the material structure of the joining partners can be avoided. Bonding strengths which are higher than or comparable to those of commercially used joining methods can be achieved. Furthermore, a particular advantage of RMS joining is that no surface pretreatment is required. RMS bondings of thermoplastics achieve high long‐term stability for plastics, which themselves are only slightly susceptible to aging.
