The use of microwave heating for preparation in organic synthesis has been accepted as an effective technique in synthesis due to the significant advantages over the conventional method. In the present work, microwave heating was applied to the preparation of atrazine (template molecule) magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer (mag-MIP) beads by suspension polymerization. The term of the polymer...

In this study, the pyrolysis of sugarcane bagasse in a CO2 atmosphere under conventional and microwave-assisted heating is investigated to achieve CO2 utilizat...

ABSTRACT- In this study, texture profile analysis and a creep test were used to determine the textural quality attributes of fish protein isolates and conventional surimi. These isolates were made from raw materials obtained from filleting processes of Silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) using acid and alkaline aided treatments. Texture profile analysis was performed in order to obtain ha...

This study reevaluates the putative advantages of microwave-assisted tryptic digests compared to conventionally heated protocols performed at the same temperature. An initial investigation of enzyme stability in a temperature range of 37-80 °C demonstrated that trypsin activity declines sharply at temperatures above 60 °C, regardless if microwave dielectric heating or conventional heating is em...

Introduction: Fruit polysaccharides, essential health factors in foods, are widely present in edible fruits. Several methods for isolation of polysaccharide are available. Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE) method is extensively used for separation of polysaccharides. Only little information is available about Psidium guajava L. Fruit Polysaccharide (PFP) and its extraction methods. Objective:...

Dyeing of polyester fabrics with thienobenzochromene disperse dyes under conventional and microwave heating conditions was studied in order to determine whether microwave heating could be used to enhance the dyeability of polyester fabrics. Fastness properties of the dyed samples were measured. All samples dyed with or without microwave heating displayed excellent washing and perspiration fastn...

this paper focused on a simple approach for synthesis of molybdenum oxide (moo3) nanoparticles and reports a facile route for synthesis of such nanoparticles, using microwave irradiation as a homogenous and powerful source of heating, using ethylene glycol as the solvent and heating medium. for more investigations, besides microwave heating, the obtained solutions were also treated by conventio...

   Self-heating leads to a temperature rise of the laser diode and limits the output power and efficiency due to increased loss and decreased differential gain. To control device self-heating, it is required to design the laser structure with a low optical loss, while the heat flux must spread out of the device efficiently. In this study, a new asymmetric waveguide design is proposed and th...
