You’ve selected probably the two hardest materials to adhere either to each other or themselves. The only adhesive that I have found that works reasonably well is epoxy. It it’s best to oxidize the surfaces to be bonded by coarse-sanding followed by flame-treating to oxidize the roughened polymer surface.
