Abstract

Microwave energy for processing materials is emerging as a vital manufacturing technology for the nineties and beyond. Research to date has shown significant advantages in several areas, including drying and sintering, joining, surface modification and waste remediation. Increased processing rates, improved physical and mechanical properties and, in some cases, reduced hazardous emissions have sparked the interest of many manufacturers in the ability to integrate microwave processing techniques into existing and future manufacturing operations. This presentation will provide an overview of the microwave processing research and development work in progress at the University of Florida.
