Microwave chemistry is an alternative approach to conduction heating, and has proved to be a highly effective heating source in chemical reactions. Irradiation uses direct interaction between the heated object and an applied electromagnetic field to generate heat. This heating mechanism can accelerate the reaction rate, provide better yields and uniform and selective heating, and achieve greater reproducibility of reactions.

Microwave Chemistry is a course that provides a comprehensive o...
