Which plastics are suitable for ultrasonic welding?

Materials made of the same plastic and those made of different plastics can be joined using various methods. Welding, for instance, is a common joining process; especially when adhesive bonding does not guarantee a sufficient or long-lasting connection. Plastic welding is not a superficial bond; it is an intensive, material bond. However, this only works for so-called thermoplastic materials which can be shaped when heat is applied.
