  • Publication number: 20040045663
    Abstract: A set of resin compositions comprising a first resin composition for forming a first resin member which is laser light-weakly-absorbing and a second resin composition for forming a second resin member which is laser light-absorbing, whereby said first and second resin members can be superposed and, from the first resin member side to the interface between the first and second resin members, laser light is irradiated to weld them together. According to the invention, irradiation of laser light produces heat as energy is absorbed by the laser light weakly-absorbing first resin member, such that the temperature of the bonding surface with the second resin member increases to some extent. The second resin member in this state is heated by absorption of laser light and melts, while the first resin member also readily melts, and therefore the resin members at the joint become sufficiently interlocked to form a strong joint.
