Abstract
A component comprising a first outer region (11), at least one intermediate region (13) and a second outer region (12). The outer regions (11, 12) have a higher density and/or a higher elastic modulus than the at least one intermediate region (13). A polymer composition (21) can, preferably, be injected into the component (1) such that a mechanical connection (41) is fixed or can be fixed in the polymer composition (21). A method, a kit and the use thereof are also disclosed.
Claims6
A process for production of a component with at least one of an insert and an onsert made of a polymer composition, the process comprising the steps of:
- providing a component comprising a first exterior region, at least one intermediate region and one second exterior region, where the first and the second exterior regions have at least one of a higher density and a higher modulus of elasticity than the at least one intermediate region and wherein the individual regions transition gradually into one another, and where at least one of the first exterior region and the second exterior region has an aperture, weakened region or marking, and/or there is an aperture, weakened region or marking provided in a covering in a lateral region,
- introducing a crosslinkable polymer composition at the location of the marking or of the weakened region, or through the aperture between the first exterior region and the second exterior region and in essence within the at least one intermediate region,
- hardening of the polymer composition between the regions so that a mechanical connection means projecting through at least one of the first exterior region, the second exterior region and the covering of the lateral region can be fixed in the polymer composition.
