Graphene oxide has been synthesized by microwave-assisted exfoliation of graphite oxide prepared by modified Hummers method. Graphite was oxidized in a solution of $H_2O_2$ and $KMnO_4$ at $65{\sim}80^{\circ}C$, followed by 10 % $H_2O_2$ solution treatment at $80{\sim}90^{\circ}C$. The graphite oxide was exfoliated under microwave irradiation of 1 kW and was reduced to graphene effectively by hydrazine hydrate ($H_4N_2{\cdot}H_2O$) treatment. The exfoliation of graphene oxide was significantly affected by the microwave irradiation on (heating)/off (cooling) period. An on/off period of 10 s/20 s resulted in much more effective exfoliation than that of 5 s/10 s with the same total treatment time of 10 min. This can be explained by the higher exfoliation temperature of 10 s/20 s. Repetition of the graphite oxidation and exfoliation processes also enhanced the exfoliation of graphene oxide. The thickness of the final graphene products was estimated to be several layers. The D band peaks of the Raman spectra of the final graphene products were quite low, suggesting a high crystal quality.

The microwave of 2450 MHz, generated by a household cooking oven, was evaluated for its applicability to melt various rehydrated media and to remove dissolved oxygen from tubed media for anaerobic culture. The effect on the sterilization of E. coli in selective media was also evaluated. The following results were obtained. 10 The microwave oven was useful in saving time for melting media and in eliminating heat and combustion gas from the laboratory, which were inevitable by-products in the conventional flame method. 2) Dissolved oxygen could be removed without boiling over by exposing the tubes of anaerobic culture medium after putting them in a wire basket in a beaker with water. 30 The count of E. coli during the melting of MacConkey and EMB agar were similar to those treated with open flame. The microwave treatment was not considered a possible mean to replace autoclaving even in these selective media.

Microwave heating (MW) was studied for the sintering of amorphous powders. In comparison to conventional heating (CV), the results show that microwave heating has the potential to substantially accelerate the sintering process and allow for highly densified solidification by eliminating the pores and increasing the shrinkage rate. In the heat treatment to synthesize aluminum borate ($Al_{18}B_4O_{33}$) whiskers from precursors, it was found that microwave heating helps the formation of $Al_{18}B_4O_{33}$ crystal as well as the decrease of crystallization temperature of $Al_{18}B_4O_{33}$ to a level significantly lower than the previously reported value of $1050^{\circ}C$.

For the purpose of improving quality of defrosted-frozen chicken leg, beef and yellow corvina, the effects of height(0mm : H0, 5mm : H5, 10mm : H10, 15mm ; H15) for microwave defrosting on their physicochemical properties were investigated. In frozen chicken leg, color values were not significant different between each treatment while H10 and H15 had the highest score on appearance. Hardness of defrosted chicken leg was increased as height increased. In frozen beef, temperature of beef after defrosting increased as hight increase and H10 had the highest appearance score. In frozen yellow corvina, H10 had the highest hardness and appearance scores. Physicochemical properties of color, texture and appearance of microwave-defrosted frozen food were changed by height within microwave oven.

마이크로파 열처리공정이 여러 가지 CuO 조성을 가진 $Li_2O-2SiO_2$-xCuO 유리의 전기전도도와 결정화 거동에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 재래식 열처리 공정과 비교하였다. 각기 재래식과 마이크로파 가열법으로 열처리하였을 때, 시편들의 전기전도도는 CuO 함량이 증가할수록 증가하였고, 각 조성에서 마이크로파로 열처리된 시편이 재래식으로 열처리된 시편에 비하여 높은 전기전도도를 보였다. 또한 X-선 회절 실험 결과, 마이크로파 열처리는 $Li_2Si_2O_5$ , $Li_2Cu_5(Si_2O_7)_2$및 $Li_2Cu_O_3$상의 결정화 정도를 향상시켜주었다. $Li_2O-2SiO_2$-1.3CuO(30 mo1% CuO) 유리를 $500^{\circ}C$에서 30분 동안 재래식과 마이크로파로 열처리한 후 상온에서 측정한 시편들의 전기전도도는 각기 $0.11{\times}10^{-4}(\Omega \textrm {cm})^{-1}$과 $0.68{\times}10^{-4}(\Omega \textrm {cm})^{-1}$이었다. 마이크로파 에너지는 시편들의 결정화를 향상시키고, 전기전도도 값도 증가시킨다고 판단되었다.

본 실험은 마이크로웨이브 처리가 상추 유묘의 생육 변화와 이차대사산물 함량의 변화를 알아보고자 수행되었다. 파종 후 3주째 상추 유묘에 2.45GHz 주파수와 200W의 마이크로웨이브를 0, 4, 8 및 12초 동안 처리하고, 4주간 식물공장에서 재배한 후 생육 및 성분 분석을 수행하였다. 지하부와 지상부의 생체중과 건물중, 엽면적, 엽장 및 엽수는 마이크로웨이브 처리시간이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 4초 처리구와 비교하여 12초 처리구에서 chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b 및 총 carotenoids의 함량이 증가되었으며 총 페놀 함량은 감소하였다. 무처리구와 비교하여 8초 처리구에서 총 플라보노이드 함량이 감소하였다. 이러한 결과들은 산화적 스트레스에 의해 이차대사산물 함량이 변화된 것으로 사료된다. 총 플라보노이드 함량을 제외한 이차대사산물 함량은 각 처리구에서 무처리구와 비교하여 유의한 차이가 없었지만, 각 처리구 사이의 유의한 차이는 200W와 2.45GHz의 마이크로웨이브 처리가 4주 후 상추의 이차대사산물 함량에 영향을 줄 수 있다는 것을 시사한다.

A microwave plasma torch at the atmospheric pressure by making use of magnetrons operated at the 2.45 GHz and used in a home microwave oven has been developed. This electrodeless torch can be used to various areas, including industrial, environmental and military applications. Although the microwave plasma torch has many applications, we in the present work focused on the microwave plasma torch operated in pure steam and several applications, which may be used in future and right now. For example, a high-temperature steam microwave plasma torch may have a potential application of the hydrocarbon fuel reforming at one atmospheric pressure. Moreover, the radicals including hydrogen, oxygen and hydroxide molecules are abundantly available in the steam torch, dramatically enhancing the reaction speed. Also, the microwave plasma torch can be used as a high-temperature, large-volume plasma burner by injecting hydrocarbon fuels in gas, liquid, and solid into the plasma flame. Finally, we briefly report treatment of soils contaminated with oils, volatile organic compounds, heavy metals, etc., which is an underway research in our group.

Dependence of microwave dielectric properties on the crystallization behaviors of $CaMgSi_2O_6$ (diopside) glass-ceramics was investigated with different heat treatment methods (one and/or two-step). The crystallization behaviors of the specimens, crystallite size and degree of crystallization, were evaluated by differential thermal analysis (DTA), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis by combined Rietveld and reference intensity ratio (RIR) methods. With an increase in heattreatment temperature, the dielectric constant (K) and the quality factor (Qf) increased due to the increase of the crystallite size and degree of crystallization. The specimens heat-treated by the two-step method had a higher degree of crystallization than the specimens heat-treated by the one-step method, which induced improvement in the quality factor (Qf) of the specimens.

Objective: The long-term efficacy of microwave hyperthermia combined with chemoradiotherapy in treating nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) with metastatic foci in cervical lymph nodes was evaluated. Methods: A total of 154 cases of N2 or N3 stage NPC were randomized into two groups: hyperthermia group (76 cases) and control group (78 cases). Both received cisplatin chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In addition, the hyperthermia group further received microwave hyperthermia to the metastatic cervical nodes with different patterns (before or after radiotherapy), heating temperatures (T90< $43^{\circ}C$ and $T90{\geq}43^{\circ}C$) and hyperthermia episodes (< 4 times, 4-10 times and > 10 times). Results: The 3-month and 5-year complete response (CR) rates of cervical lymph nodes in the hyperthermia group were significantly higher than those in the control group. The 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate and the 3-year / 5-year overall survival rate in the hyperthermia group were also significantly higher. There was no significant difference in 5-year metastatic rates. In the hyperthermia group, the 3-month and 5-year CR rates of T90< $43^{\circ}C$ treatment were significantly lower than with $T90{\geq}43^{\circ}C$ treatment. The CR rate was highest when the hyperthermia was performed 4-10 times. There were no significant differences in 3-month and 5-year CR rates between hyperthermia before or after radiotherapy treatment. Conclusion: Microwave hyperthermia combined with chemoradiotherapy can increase local control, DFS and 3, 5-year overall survival rates of patients with N2 ~ N3 stage NPC. The heating temperature should be over $43^{\circ}C$ with hyperthermia repeated 4-10 times.
