folder = 'D:\Temp';
str1 = 'aaa'
str2 = 'bbb'
% Alternatives:
name = [str1, str2]
name = strcat(str1, str2)
name = cat(2, str1, str2)
name = horzcat(str1, str2)
name = sprintf('%s%s', str1, str2) % See Stephen's solution
% Creates: C\Temp\aaa\bbb
fullname = fullfile(folder, str1, str2)

Use sprintf and adjust the format string to suit:
S1 = 'hello';
S2 = 'world';
name = sprintf('%s%s.txt',S1,S2)
