Microwave Solutions for Ceramic Engineers [Paperback]

This book is a summary of microwave processing research, processing and characterization tools, and applications specifically applicable to ceramic engineers. It will serve as an update/summary of research related to microwave processing of ceramic materials and as an introductory book to those wishing to initiate microwave studies or who wish to determine the potential applications in their area of expertise.Introduction: What is Microwave Processing? (D.E. Clark and D.C. Folz).
