While polymer technology forms one of the largest areas of application of microwave technology, and the methods and procedures used therein are among the most developed, there is still a relative lack of published information on the subject.
Microwave-Enhanced Polymer Chemistry and Technology
describes novel approaches to polymer processing using microwave
technologies. Coverage includes background and scientific data, analysis
of processes and product properties in comparison with existing
technology, applications that are being used in various approaches, and
the status of current research. Features of microwave irradiation, i.e.,
solvent-free reactions, low waste, energy efficiency, high yield, short
reaction time, and possible use of alternative solvents, can play an
important role in the development of green chemistry methods.
