Notes:
Despite the long history of the application of radio frequency energies for the joining and assembly of polymer films and articles, a comprehensive, quantitative understanding of all the factors has been lacking. In this article, a quantitative first principle type study is described for flexible PVC of various plasticizer contents and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) of different VA compositions. High frequency dielectric data of up to 10 MHz were collected over broad temperature ranges. Separate thermal properties of specific heat and thermal conductivity were determined. In addition, rheological functions over required temperatures and shear rates were applied. Comparisons of predicted heatseal behavior with experimental observations are presented.
