Materials Processing by Microwave Heating

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Microwave Chemical and Materials Processing

Abstract

Attempts to use microwaves in materials processing are very old and are comparable to those of microwave heating of food. This chapter discusses the characteristics and advantages of the microwave processing of ceramics and rapid sintering of ceramics and introduces the sintering of inorganic materials with new structures through selective heating by microwaves. In addition, the refining of metals and drying technology of metal films and nano-inks is explained. Characteristics of the microwave method for the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles and quantum dots, together with their effects are described. In addition, the chapter introduces sintering of ceramics with structural features using microwave characteristic heating. The coffee break discusses future developments in microwave ovens.
