Microwave Curing Polymer Composites

摘要

This report briefly reviews the status of microwave hardening polymer composites. A survey of relevant activities in Sweden has been made, and it appears these are very limited. Some activity in the UK has been identified. Details of the contacts made during preparation of the report are given, and an annotated bibliography of relevant publications is included. Microwave hardening of polymer composites is compared with industrial techniques for sintering (metal and ceramic powders) and timber drying.
