The principal aim of this book is to introduce chemists through a
tutorial approach to the use of microwaves by examining several
experiments of microwave chemistry and materials processing. It
will subsequently enable chemists to fashion their own experiments
in microwave chemistry or materials processing. Microwave heating
has become a popular methodology in introducing thermal energy in
chemical reactions and material processing in laboratory-scale
experiments. Several research cases where microwave heating has
been used in a wide range of fields have been reported, including
organic synthesis, polymers, nanomaterials, biomaterials, and
ceramic sintering, among others. In most cases, microwave equipment
is used as a simple heat source. Therefore the principal benefits
of microwave radiation have seldom been taken advantage of. One
reason is the necessity to understand the nature of
electromagnetism, microwave engineering, and thermodynamics.
However, it is difficult for a chemist to appreciate these in a
short time, so they act as barriers for the chemist who might take
an interest in the use of microwave radiation. This book helps to
overcome these barriers by using figures and diagrams instead of
equations as much as possible.
