Abstract: A method for fixing a first surface to a second surface. The method comprises depositing a first layer of nanocellulose on the first surface; bringing the first layer of nanocellulose into contact with the second surface or with a second layer of nanocellulose deposited on the second surface; and fixing the first layer of nanocellulose to the second surface, the second surface containing cellulose, or to the second layer of nanocellulose by a step of ultrasonic welding, which results in a first zone comprising the first layer of nanocellulose, where the first surface is fixed to the second surface, and a second zone around the first zone, where the first surface is not fixed to the second surface.
