Popis: We present a thermal processing device, equipped for local heating and welding of biomaterials, e.g. electrospun nonwovens or polymer films. Depending on the application and choice of materials, we aim to determine appropriate processing parameters for permanent and non-permanent welds. Due to the modular device structure, applicationspecific heating tools can be used. Process temperature up to 250 °C is feasible.
