Abstract: Almost everybody has access to a domestic microwave oven. For Most people the concepts of microwaves are baffling because microwaves are invisible. In industry, microwave heating has been applied to tempering of frozen meats, processing of potato chips and most importantly vulcanization of rubber. The use of microwaves for the processing of organic materials and inorganic materials such as polymers, ceramics and minerals has been widely reported. The heating of materials is controlled by variations in the power, duration of radiation exposure and the dimension of the cavity in which the microwave radiation is exposed.
