High molecular weight of polycarbonate(PC) and well dispersed PC/MMT nanocomposites were successfully prepared through the novel technology, microwave solid-state polymerization. In our studies, the microwave irradiation is more effective than conventional oil-bath heating on achieving the high molecular weight and uniform nanocomposites. Using the polycarbonate prepolymer made it possible to intercalate the short chains into the galleries of MMT more easily. And it was observed that prepared nanocomposites by microwave solid-state polymerization have more uniform dispersion of silicate of MMT into the polymer matrix than by oil heating.

Lead titanate(PT) and lead magnesium niobate(PMN) ceramic powders were prepared by microwave hy-drothermal method using teflon bomb. Raw materials were Pb(NO3)2 and TiO2 for lead titanate and Pb(NO3)2 Nb2O5 and Mg(NO)3.6H2O for PMN with NaOH as mineralizer in both cases. in lead titanate synthsis rate of microwave hydrothermal method was faster three times than one f conventional hydrothermal methods In lead magnesium niobate synthsis the mixture of perovskite and pyrochlore phases was obtained by single step technique and the PMN was not obtained by double step technique due to low temperature limitation of teflon bomb.

A flexible and tunable microwave photonic filter based on adjustable optical frequency comb source is demonstrated. We use a combination of a dual parallel Mach Zehnder modulator and an intensity modulator to generate fifteen comb lines with proper weights to implement a desired filter. The optical comb weights, corresponding to the tap coefficients of the filter, are flexibly changed by adjusting the operation parameters of the modulators. The achieved bandwidth and stopband attenuation of the tunable filter are 0.7 GHz and 20 dB, respectively. In addition, we overcome the undesired low frequency suppression appeared in a conventional scheme by applying a dual parallel Mach Zehnder modulator for single sideband suppressed carrier modulation.

There has been an interest to develop an efficient, compact microwave device using field-emitter-arrays (FEA)-based cathode. Toe valuate the optimum device-efficiency in a compact size, the propagation properties of the premodulated electron beam for the FEA-based cathode is studied in detail by the computer simulation using a PIC code, MAGIC. For the premodulated electron beam whose phase of the energy leads the phase of the current by $\pi$/2, the amplitude of the downstream current modulation can be kept as high as the initial modulation level. Using the beam parameters with the beam voltage of 6kV and the current of 2.0A, 30% of efficiency is predicted when the quality factor of 800 is chosen. the device length is reduced about twice compared with that of the conventional device. The design of practical planar cathode is carried out to meet the minimum diameter of the electron beam as 0.5 mm.

Dielectric properties at microwave frequency region of the five-layered compound $Ba_5Nb_4O_{15}$ prepared by the conventional solid state reaction method were investigated. $Ba_5Nb_4O_{15}$ has excellent microwave dielectric characteristics; ${\varepsilon}_r$=38, Q=7500 at 10 GHz, and ${\tau}_l$=+50 ppm/K. Since this compound has a high dielectric constant, high Q and sufficiently stable characteristics, it is useful for the applications at microwave frequencies.

Conventional series-resonant pulse frequency modulation controlled DC-DC high power converters with a high-frequency transformer link which is designed for driving the high power microwave generator has the problem of hard switching commutation at turn-on and turn-off of active power switching devices. This problem is due to the influence of the magnetizing current of the high-frequency transformer. This paper presents a novel prototype for a high-frequency transformer using parasitic parameters with a lossless inductive snubber and a series resonant capacitor assisted series-resonant zero current switching pulse frequency modulated DC-DC power converter, which is designed using a high power magnetron for microwave ovens. In order to implement a complete and efficient soft switching commutation, the performance of the new converter topology is practically confirmed and evaluated in the prototype of a power microwave generator.

Physiologically active material ${\beta}$-glucan extracted from mushroom has an antitumor effect. Agaricus blazei murill(A blazel) fruiting bodies were reported to contain large amounts of ${\beta}$-glucan. The purpose of this study was to maximize ${\beta}$-glucn extraction from A. blazei by microwave assisted extraction method. Optimal extraction conditions were obtained under various extraction time and applied power which was examined as 200, 500 and 650 watt. The structure and concentrations of the raffinates were analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy(NMR) and infrared spectroscopy(IR) It was proved that the extraction yield of microwave assisted extraction method was higher than that of conventional solvent extraction method. It was also observed that microwave assisted extraction method requires less amounts of solvents and extraction time compared to the conventional solvent extraction method.

Nickel powders were prepared from an aqueous nickel acetate solution and hydrazine hydrate using diethanolamine as the nonaqueous organic solvent in the conventional and microwave synthetic method. It was investigated that microwave non-thermal effect and synthetic condition affect the preparation of nickel powders by means of X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, thermal gravymetry analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis. Compared with the conventional synthetic method, less of aggregation, smaller particle size, and more uniform distribution of particle size were obtained in the microwave synthetic method due to the non-thermal effect of microwaves.

Dewatered digested sewage sludge were heated with microwave and their drying characteristics were investigated on the effect of their surface area, shape, diameter and thickness. The drying characteristics of identical samples in a conventional drying oven were studied. In conventional drying, constant rate period was not found and moisture was evaporated with capillary action. Moisture in the sludge was a bound water and free water was not exist. In microwave drying, the falling rate period was divided into two zones. In falling rate drying period, moisture movement occured by diffusion. The evaporation surface area was a significant variable, the greater heating surface area promoted water removal rate over wide region of water content. Drying rate was slow and constant rate drying period was found in wide moisture content region with increasing diameter. Drying characteristics appeared differently in various shape. In microwave heating, first of all temperature of sludge center was increased and was the highest. Temperature in the constant rate drying period was remained constantly at $80{\sim}100^{\circ}C$.

.FAPO-5 molecular sieves were synthesized starting from the same reactant gel at 170 oC using microwave irradiation technique and conventional hydrothermal reaction. The FAPO-5 molecular sieves were characterized by several techniques such as SEM, FTIR, UV/Vis, and ESR. Moreover, the oxidation of styrene over FAPO-5s was carried out, and compared to check the oxidation and epoxidation ability of the two FAPO-5s. FAPO-5 can be obtained easily by microwave irradiation within 15 min at 170oC, whereas FAPO-5 synthesis is completed in 6 h by conventional electric heating, confirming the acceleration about 20 times by microwave technique. There are no appreciable differences between two FAPO-5s in surface area and coordination state of iron. The FAPO-5 synthesized by microwave irradiation shows higher epoxide selectivity in the styrene epoxidation, which may be explained by the higher hydrophobicity of the catalyst.
