This study investigated the crystallization behavior in PbO-ZnO-B2O3-TiO2 system sealing glass, inorganic polymer heat-treated by conventional heat and microwave energy. After determining heat-treated temperature for crystallization and characteristic points by DTA analysis, samples were heat-treated in a classical electric furnace and a home-style microwave oven (LG Electronic Co., 2.45 GHz, 700 W). A microwave heat-treated sample had the growth of PbTiO3 crystal at 45$0^{\circ}C$, 2$0^{\circ}C$ lower than that of a conventionally heat-treated sample. Also, it had crystallinity about 20% higher than the conventionally heat-treated sample. At 49$0^{\circ}C$, the size of PbTiO3 crystal in the conventionally heat-treated sample was larger than that in the microwave heat-treated sample due to longer heat-treated time.

Microwave-assisted organic synthesis has gained a remarkable interest over the past years because of its advantages - (i) rapid energy transfer and superheating, (ii) higher yield and rapid reaction, (iii) cleaner reactions. Ionic liquids are well known for their unique properties such as negligible vapor pressure and high thermal stability. With these properties, ionic liquids have gained increasing attention as green, multi-use reaction media. Recently, ionic liquids have been applied as reaction media for biocatalysis. Lipase-catalyzed reactions in ionic liquids provide high activity and yield compared to conventional organic solvents or solvent free system. Since polar molecules are generally good absorbent to microwave radiation, ionic liquids were investigated as reaction media to improve activity and productivity. In this study, therefore, the effect of microwave irradiation in ionic liquids was investigated on lipase catalyzed reactions such as benzyl acetate synthesis and caffeic acid phenethyl ester synthesis. Comparing to conventional heating, microwave heating showed almost the same final conversion but increased initial reaction rate (3.03 mM/min) compared to 2.11 mM/min in conventional heating at $50^{\circ}C$.

본 연구에서는 재래식 및 마이크로파 polyacrylamide(PAA) 겔법을 사용하여 카올린에서 추출된 황산 알루미늄 수용액으로부터 육각 판상형의 $\alpha$-Al$_2$O$_3$ 나노 입자들을 성공적으로 합성하였다. 재래식 PAA 겔법에 비하여 마이크로파 PAA 겔 법에서는 상대적으로 겔화 시간은 짧으며, 합성수율은 상대적으로 높았다. 재래식 및 마이크로파 시료들에서 황산 알루미늄의 농도 변화에 따라 나노 입자들의 크기는 거의 변하지 않지만, 가교제의 농도가 증가함에 따라 나노 입자들의 크기는 작아졌다. 가교제의 농도가 0.01M 이상인 조건에서는 재래식 시료들에 비하여 마이크로파 시료들에서 나노 입자들의 크기는 상대적으로 컸다.

마이크로파 열원을 이용하여 황산 용액에서 카올린을 가열 반응시켜 무기고분자인 수화 황산 알루미늄을 합성하였다. 하소된 카올린으로부터 알루미나의 최대 추출율은 재래식 열공정 ($80^{\circ}C$, 1 M 및 240분)에서 72.8%이었고, 마이크로파 공정 ($90^{\circ}C$, 1 M 및 60분)에서 99.9%이었다. 재래식 열공정에서와는 달리 마이크로파 공정에서 추출 합성된 수화 황산 알루미늄 시료는 빠른 결정립 성장에 의해 거대 크기의 판상으로 이루어진 층상구조로 존재하였다. 마이크로파와 재래식 열공정에서 합성하여, $1100^{\circ}C$에서 하소된 시료들을 모두 구형으로 응집된 분말상의 ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ 존재하였고, 이 시료들의 비표면적은 각각 113.5와 $106.6m^2/g$이었고, 입자의 평균 입경은 각각 46.5와 $26.3{\mu}m$이었다.

The use of microwaves as the energy source for synthesis and sintering of ceramics offers substantial advantages compared to conventional gas-fired and electric resistance furnaces. Benefits include much shorter processing times and reaching the sintering temperature more quickly, resulting in superior final product quality. Most oxide ceramics poorly interact with microwave irradiation at low temperatures; thus, a more complex setup including a susceptor is needed, which makes the whole process very complicated. This investigation pursued a new approach, which enabled us to use microwave irradiation directly in poorly coupled oxides. In many solid-state electrochemical devices, the support is either metal or can be reduced to metal. Metal powders in the support can act as an internal susceptor and heat the entire cell. Then sufficient interaction of microwave irradiation and ceramic material can occur as the sample temperature increases. This microwave heating and exothermic reaction of oxidation of the support can sinter the ceramic very efficiently without any external susceptor. In this study, yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) and a Ni-YSZ cermet support were used as an example. The cermet was used as the support, and a YSZ electrolyte was coated and sintered directly using microwave irradiation without the use of any susceptor. The results were compared to a similar cell prepared using a conventional electric furnace. The leakage test and full cell power measurement results revealed a fully leak-free electrolyte. Scanning electron microscopy and density measurements show that microwave sintered samples have lower open porosity in the electrode support than conventional heat treatment. This technique offers an efficient way to directly use microwave irradiation to sinter thin film ceramics without a susceptor.

A multiresolution time-domain analysis scheme is derived for the analysis of microwave structures by using Haar wavelets to discretize the Maxwell's curl equation. This technique requires less computational effort than the conventional FDTD method because larger space grid can be used in the simulations. To validate this scheme, several 2-D·3-D microwave structures are simulated and the results are compared with those of the conventional FDTD scheme.

The use of electromagnetic energy and non-equilibrium plasma for enhancing ignition and combustion stability is receiving increased attention recently. The conventional technologies have adapted the electrical devices to make the electromagnetic field, which resulted in various safety issues such as high-maintenance, additional high-cost system, electric shock and explosion. Therefore, an electrodeless microwave technology has an advantage for economic and reliability compared with conventional one because of no oxidation. However, the application of microwave has been still limited because of lack of interaction mechanism between flame and microwave. In this study, an experiment was performed with jet diffusion flames induced by microwaves to clarify the effect of microwave on the combustion stability and pollutant emissions. The results show that microwave induced flames enhanced the flame stability and blowout limit because of abundance of radical pool. However, NOx emission was increased monotonically with microwave intensity except 0.2 kW, and soot emission was reduced at the post flame region.

As compared with conventional sintering, rapid heating in microwave system could enhance sinterability and final properties of alumina with a very short sintering time. In this study microwave sintering was performed using zirconia brick as a reaction chamber which was positioned in a 2.45 GHz(700 W) multimode microwave cavity. Microwave-sintered alumina showed high density and smaller grain size than conventionally sintered alumina because the ratio of densification rate/grain growth rate was increased by rapid heating.

A conventional power supply of a microwave oven has a 60Hz transformer and high voltage capacitor(HVC). Though it is very simple and has low cost, it has several problems such as large size, heavy weight and low efficiency To improve these problems, various high frequency inverter type power supply have been investigated and developed in recent years. But these cost is higher than the conventional one due to additional control circuit, fast switching devces. In this paper, a novel pulse power supply for microwave oven using high frequency transformer embedded HVC(High Voltage Capacitor) is proposed for down-sizing, cost reduction and efficient improvement. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed transformer, an equivalent circuit of transformer embedded HVC is derived and it's characteristic is described. And the validity of the proposed pulse power supply embedded HVC-high frequency transformer is shown by simulations and experiments accroding to various operating conditions.

Dense $ Pb(Zr, Ti)O_3(PZT)/Al_2O_3$ nanocomposites were prepared by the 28 GHz microwave heating method and conventional electric furnace sintering. Electrical and mechanical properties of the composites were investigated. The fracture strength of the PZT composites with 0.1vol% $Al_2O_3$ was significantly improved in both sintering methods. Smaller grain size and effective reinforcement of the PZT matrix by the second phase were considered to be responsible for the excellent fracture strength. Planar electromechanical coupling factor Kp of the composites sintered by 28GHz microwave heating was higher than that of the materical prepared by the conventional route. It seemed that the control of the reaction between PZT and $Al_2O_3$ by the microwave rapid sintering resulted in the high piezoelectric properties.
