Due to the wide range of properties of plastics (e.g. low density, low electrical and thermal conductivity), conventional materials will be increasingly substituted by polymers. Multifarious requirements on technical parts intensify the demand for joining processes, which ensure the reliable joining of incompatible thermoplastics. In this case, material bonded joints are approaching their limits. The present study focusses on the welding of two incompatible thermoplastic polymers (polyamide and polyethylene) by using adapted blend materials, which are compatible to both joining components. The results prove the feasibility of this method and indicate the high potential regarding the reachable joint strength. Furthermore, the study demonstrates the challenges regarding the suitable application of blend materials and deals with open scientific questions concerning their industrial usage.
