Abstract
A connection includes: a first profile having a first end, the first profile including a first polymeric material comprising a thermoset material; and a second profile having a second end, the second profile including a second polymeric material, a metal, or combination thereof, wherein the first end and the second end are coincidently bonded without a bonding material at an interface of the first end and the second end.
Claims16
A connection comprising:
- a first profile having a first end, the first profile comprising a first polymeric material comprising a thermoset material, the first profile comprising a tube having an entire length being a solid, continuous wall of the thermoset material with a terminus at the first end;
- and
- a second profile comprising a solid, continuous wall along an entire length and a circumference of the second profile with a terminus at a second end, the second profile comprising a second polymeric material, a metal, or combination thereof, wherein the first end and the second end are coincidently bonded without a bonding material at an interface of the first end and the second end to form a coincident bond, wherein the coincident bond is a circumferential seal.
A connection comprising:
- a first profile having a first end, the first profile comprising a first polymeric material comprising a thermoset silicone elastomer, the first profile comprising a tube having an entire length being a solid, continuous wall of the thermoset silicone elastomer with a terminus at the first end;
- and
- a second profile comprising a solid, continuous wall along an entire length and a circumference of the second profile with a terminus at a second end, the second profile comprising a thermoset material, a metal, or combination thereof, wherein the first end and the second end are coincidently bonded without a bonding material at an interface of the first end and the second end to form a coincident bond, wherein the coincident bond is a circumferential seal.
