- the present invention provides heating agents comprising combinations of susceptors that heat, under an alternating magnetic field, at a rate that is surprisingly faster than those heating agents that have been identified in the prior art.

- the welding agent of the present invention comprises multiple susceptors embedded in a plastic, e.g., thermoplastic matrix.
- Both ferromagnetism in a ferromagnetic material and ferrimagnetism in a non-conductive ferromagnetic material disappears at the Curie temperature as thermal oscillations overcome the orientation due to exchange interaction, resulting in a random grouping of the atomic particles.
- a non-conductive ferrimagnetic material is placed in an electromagnetic field, the hysteresis losses in the material cause its temperature to rise, eventually reaching its Curie temperature.
- the material crystal lattice undergoes a dimensional change, causing a reversible loss of magnetic dipoles. Once the magnetic dipoles are lost, the ferrimagnetic properties cease, thus halting further heating.
- the rapid heating phenomenon seen in the methods and compositions of the present invention are due to the combination of the non- conductive susceptors and the second electrically conductive susceptors.
- the addition of the second susceptor type helps to focus the magnetic field on the non- conductive susceptors, enabling the temperature to continue to rise rapidly.
- important parameters in this process are the following:
- the size and shape of the ferrimagnetic Hysteresis Loop are controlled by the choice of the susceptor. For example, a magnetically hard ferrite exhibits a larger hysteresis loop than does a magnetically soft ferrite. The larger the hysteresis loop, the greater is the heat that can be generated per cycle. To take advantage of the larger hysteresis loop, the strength of the applied, alternating magnetic field must be sufficiently large to permit the loop to be completely traversed in each cycle (e.g., for the susceptor to reach magnetic saturation).
- Susceptor Loading The amount of susceptor used is controlled and optimized for the intended application. In the case of a thermoplastic weld material, the volume fraction of the susceptor phase and the thickness of the weld material play a direct role in the temperature achieved and the rate of heating within the thermoplastic polymer.
- Particle Size The particle size is controlled and optimized for the intended application.. Particle size affects heat transfer to the thermoplastic weld material.
- Particle Shape The particle shape is controlled and optimized for the intended application. Certain shapes may exhibit unique responses to the induction field, and thus optimized heating for the application. By manipulating these parameters as described herein, the inventors have found that the rate of heating can be increased substantially.
- susceptor refers to a material that interacts with a magnetic field to generate a response, e.g., eddy currents and/or hysteretic losses.
- the methods and apparatus of the present invention are based on the use of dual "susceptors" that can be used to heat a polymer matrix. The susceptors are further described below.
- the electrically non-conductive susceptors e.g., micron-sized ferrimagnetic particles 2 and the electrically conductive susceptors, e.g., micron sized ferromagnetic particles or ICP particles 3, are dispersed in the thermoplastic host matrix 1.
- the susceptors can be dispersed throughout the article that will be heated, e.g., if the article is a tape that will be used to bond two pieces of thermoplastic together.
- a portion of the article to be welded or bonded to another article or portion of the article e.g., a rim or annular area, can be manufactured to have the susceptors embedded therein.
- One of ordinary skill in the art can readily determine where the susceptors should be placed to maximize the rate of heating and sealing or welding of the articles.
- thermoplastic bond area during fusion is achieved by induction heating of the susceptor materials, e.g., particles 2 and 3 placed in the bond interface.
- susceptor materials e.g., particles 2 and 3 placed in the bond interface.
- This technology is amenable to production line manufacturing where rapid rates of production require rapid heating of composite structures. It would also be useful in rapid field repair of composite structures, for example, and is more cost effective in initial fabrication than presently known methods of repair.
- the invention relates to an agent for heating thermoplastic materials comprising dual susceptors.
- the susceptors comprise (a) at least one plurality of electrically non-conductive susceptors and (b) at least one plurality of electrically conductive susceptors.
- the methods and compositions of the present invention utilize the fact that magnetic induction heating occurs in magnetic or electrically conductive materials when they are subject to an applied alternating magnetic field.
- the present invention specifically takes advantage of the heating that occurs in the combination of susceptors described herein.
- a current-carrying body, or coil is placed near the susceptors of the present invention, the magnetic field caused by the current in the coil induces a current in the susceptors.
- heating occurs by both eddy current and hysteresis losses. It is eddy currents losses that dominate. In the nonconducting magnetic materials, heating occurs by hysteresis losses. In this later case, the amount of energy available for heating is proportional to the area of flux vs. field intensity hysteresis curve (B vs. H) and frequency of the alternating field. This mechanism exists as long as the temperature is kept below the Curie point (T c ) of the material. At the Curie point, the originally magnetic material becomes non-ferromagnetic. Thus, at its T c , heating of the magnetic material ceases. Thus, as aforesaid, it was surprisingly found that the combination of these conductive and non-conductive susceptors as described herein, produces a rapid rate of heating, e.g., greater than 300°C/sec.
- the methods of the present invention enable the user to achieve high rates of heating by selecting the appropriate combination of susceptors based upon the desired application. For example, one of ordinary skill in the art can control the rate of heating by controlling the ratios of the susceptors.

- ICPs are organic polymers that conduct electric currents while retaining the other typical properties commonly associated with a conventional polymer. ICPs are different from so-called "conducting polymers" that are merely a physical mixture of a non-conducting polymer with a conducting material such as metal or carbon powder. In addition to the generation of heat by hysteresis losses in the ferrimagnetic particles, eddy current losses within the electrically conductive polymer contribute additional heating to enhance the rate of heating of the heating agent. Since ICPs tend to lose their electrical conductivity at temperatures above about 200°C, heating agents utilizing ICPs are preferably used in applications in which the maximum process welding temperature is below 200°C.

- T c may be lowered by the partial substitution of Zn ++ for the divalent ions in the strontium ferrite (SrF), Mg-2Y, and Co-2Y.

For example, in certain embodiments solenoid coils are preferred because solenoid coil geometry produces a very strong magnetic field. In other embodiments, pancake coils are used. Pancake coils have been found to produce a non- uniform field with its maximum at the center.

- the broad temperature range covered by the susceptors allows for use in a wide range of commercial applications, e.g., in the food packaging industry, automotive assembly lines, etc.
- induction heating may be used in the food industry to seal lids without the use of the aluminum peel-away that is commonly used in many packages.
- the advantages of replacing foil with a direct polymer seal include lower cost, improved recyclability and the ability to control the bonding conditions, including temperature, of complex seal shapes, such as a thin ring on the rim of a beverage container, or a lid on a food tray.
- This technology can also be used for sealing bags or other similar containers for foods, including prepared foods, instant foods or ingredients.
- a cup containing a food product may be sealed with a lid by inductively heating the dual susceptors uniformly distributed throughout or concentrated in a rim of the cup or in an annular area of the lid or both. Inductively heating the dual particles at the annular seal area while pressing the cup rim and lid together, for example with an induction heating horn, fuses and co-cures the plastic material of the cup and lid.
- This method can be used for any sealing application, e.g., sealing boxes or containers enclosing any type of materials. Examples of such materials include prepared foods, foodstuffs, ingredients, liquids as well as non-edible products and liquids.
- the sealing technology can be used to seal cartridges and filters of different types, e.g., water filters, oil filters, and medical devices.
- One of ordinary skill in the art can readily apply the methods of the present invention to any application that requires sealing or bonding of thermoplastics.
- the rapid rate of heating enables the manufacture of a high volume of these products in a very short time period, thus decreasing production time, reducing costs, and increasing productivity.
- Another example of a preferable use is in manufacturing aviation, auto and marine structural components: specifically, fabricated structures that comprise one polymer component welded to another polymer component.
- the methods of the present invention can be used on production lines in the automotive industry, for sealing or welding polymer components, e.g., tail lights, etc.
- susceptors and methods of using the susceptors described herein can be applied to either one or both of the components and inductively heated to weld or seal the components together. Another use is in the repair of structures that comprise one polymer component welded to another polymer component.
- the methods of induction bonding are used to weld the seams of structures made of thermoplastic materials, for use in the field, e.g., by military forces.
- One example is useful for joining polyurethane skin to itself.
- filler particles i.e., the susceptor particles of the present invention
- these particles are designed to thermally match the softening point of a variety of thermoplastic resins, into which they can be compounded.
- the present invention is further illustrated by the following Examples.
- the Examples are provided to aid in the understanding of the invention and are not construed as a limitation thereof.
- High density polyethylene (HDPE) pellets were placed in a Haake Rheomix Mixer and mixed until the pellets melted, at which time strontium ferrite particles (HM181) (particle size: 1.4 ⁇ m; Supplier: Steward Ferrite; Chattanooga, TN) and fine leaf nickel flake (diameter: 10-20 ⁇ m, thickness: 0.5 ⁇ m; Supplier: Novamet; Wycoff, NJ) were added slowly to high density polyethylene in the Rheomix mixer until the entire quantity of both susceptors have been added such that the strontium ferrite was at 36 percent by weight ( w / 0 ) of the total mix and the flake nickel was at 41 percent by weight ( w / ⁇ ) of the total mix and thorough mixing has taken place.
- strontium ferrite particles HM181
- HM181 particle size: 1.4 ⁇ m
- Supplier Steward Ferrite; Chattanooga, TN
- fine leaf nickel flake diameter: 10-20 ⁇ m, thickness:
- the mixture was then removed from the Rheomix mixer and compression molded into sheets 10 to 20 mils thick. Small sections approximately 1 x 1-in were cut from the sheet and mounted on glass slides. These samples were then placed inside a 5-turn, 2-in long, oval-shaped (2 x Vfe-in) solenoid coil and subjected to an 11.8MHz alternating magnetic field.
- the Nova Star 1M solid state 1.0 KW induction generator (Ameritherm, Inc.; Scottville, NY) was used as the power source. Coil current was approximately 80 amps.
- Ircon 06F05 IR pyrometer (Ircon, Inc.; Niles, IL) with a response time of 10ms and a temperature range of 200 to 600°F (93 °- 315 °C) was used to measure and record temperature. Because the spot size of the pyrometer slightly impinged on the coil, the true temperature and true rate of heating were higher than the measured values. A trigger was used to mark time zero when the power was turned on. The pyrometer starts measurements at 200°F. The initial ambient temperature of the samples prior to the start of heating was 70°F.
- heating rates ranging from 1050 to 1120°F/sec. were achieved.
- One of the heating curves for 20% Strontium Ferrite and 13% Flake Nickel in High Density Polyethylene is shown in Figure 2.
- the heating rates achieved by the present invention were approximately 2.5 times as great as that reported by Leatherman (United States Patent Number 4,969,968), at a significantly lower coil current (80 vs 600 amps).
- Heating agents having HDPE as the matrix or host and containing the following combinations (a), (b) or (c) were fabricated in the same manner as described in Example 1 :
- Test Conditions (Frequency: 11.8MHz, Power: 1.0 KW, Coil: 5-turn oval solenoid (2 x Vfe-in), Length: 2-in, Coil Current: 80 amps, Matrix: High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)).
- Heating agents having HDPE as the matrix and containing from 10 v / o to 30 v / 0 micron-sized, non-conducting, ferrimagnetic particles and 13 v / 0 micron- sized, electrically conducting ICP particles are fabricated into films, sheets or other shapes suitable for the intended application by the method described in Example 1.
- the said heating agents also can be fabricated by solution casting, extrusion compounding, extrusion compounding followed by compression injection molding or by a number of other methods known by those well versed in the technology.
- Both the non-conducting and conducting particles can be irregular or spherical in shape.
- These non-conducting susceptors also can be in the form of fibers or flakes.
