INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECT OF MICROWAVE-RADIATION ENERGY FLUX ON THE STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF POLYMERIC INSULATING MATERIALS

摘要

Mobile units for microwave processing of polymeric coatings directly on a pipe are designed. Ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) electromagnetic radiation has several advantages. It intensifies energy exchange in the material by converting radiant energy into kinetic energy of molecular vibrations and ensures uniform treatment of the substance in the irradiated volume. The energy flux is highly stable due to a lack of inertia upon varying its power.
