MW Heating

This research line investigates the application of microwave heating as an emerging, innovative, property-improving, energy-conserving, eco-friendly, and time-saving technology applied across numerous fields, including materials processing, drying, curing and thermochemical reactions.

Microwave processing has shown clear advantages over conventional heating in many industrial processes and over an extensive variety of materials such as ceramics, composites and metals. Because electromagnetic energy interacts differently depending on material’s properties or composition, microwave technology has the potential to develop entirely new or enhanced manufactured products through internal selective heating as well as new approaches and processes for producing such materials.
