Solution-derived amorphous indium-gallium-zinc oxide (a-IGZO) thin-film-transistor (TFTs) were developed using a microwave irradiation treatment at low process temperature below $300^{\circ}C$. Compared to conventional furnace-annealing, the a-IGZO TFTs annealed by microwave irradiation exhibited better electrical characteristics in terms of field effect mobility, SS, and on/off current ratio, although the annealing temperature of microwave irradiation is much lower than that of furnace annealing. The microwave irradiated TFTs showed a smaller $V_{th}$ shift under the positive gate bias stress (PGBS) and negative gate bias stress (NGBS) tests owing to a lower ratio of oxygen vacancies, surface absorbed oxygen molecules, and reduced interface trapping in a-IGZO. Therefore, microwave irradiation is very promising to low-temperature process.

Recently, the composite material market is gradually growing. Various composite forming processes have been developed in order to reduce the production cost of the composite material. Unlike the conventional forming process, the microwave composite forming process has the advantage of reducing the processing time because the composite material is heated directly or indirectly at the same time. Due to this advantage, in this study, a double cantilever beam test was conducted with specimens manufactured by the microwave composite forming process. The purpose of this study was to compare mode-I energy release rate for specimens manufactured by prepreg compression forming and microwave composite forming processes. First, a microwave oven was proposed to conduct the microwave composite forming process. Double cantilever beam specimens were manufactured. After that, the double cantilever beam test was conducted to obtain the mode-I energy release rate. Mode-I energy release rates of specimens manufactured by the microwave composite forming and prepreg compression forming processes were then compared. As a result, mode-I energy release rates of specimens fabricated by the microwave composite forming process were similar to those fabricated with the prepreg compression forming process with a relatively reduced process time.

In this paper, removal of diesel hydrocarbons (C$_{10}$-C$_{22}$) for dry and moist soil was investigated so that microwave-enhanced soil vapor extraction(SVE) reduced soil treatment time and raised remediation efficiency. Kinetic constants of diesel hydrocarbons with microwave energy were 7 times on dry soil and 1580 times on moist soil as much as those of SVE process without microwave energy. The diesel removals were 67.7～78.4% for $C_{10}$ and $C_{12}$, and 0～18.5% for $C_{14}$～C$_{22}$ for dry and moist soil with SVE process only. On the other hand, dry soil with microwave-enhanced SVE process showed 89.3～99.4% removal for $C_{10}$ and $C_{12}$ and 35.6～67.0% for hydrocarbons over $C_{14}$. All hydrocarbons(C$_{10}$～C$_{22}$) studied were significantly removed (93.6～99.8%) for moist soil with microwave-enhanced SVE process. Almost all diesel hydrocarbons were usually considered as semi-volatile compounds(SVOCs). Microwave-enhanced SVE process might have a great potential for remediation of soils contaminated with SVOCs.OCs.

In order to streamline bread making process that is time-consuming in regard to the characteristics of process, this study focused on microwave irradiation to dough and raising its temperature to monitor potential variations of dough properties and bread quality, and also examined optimum irradiation time to deduce effective ways for streamlining bread making process. According to analyze dough properties depending on microwave irradiation time, it was found that microwave heat (MWH) 2 showed the highest specific volume and oven spring of all and the lowest hardness (i.e. the highest softness). Moreover, MWH 2 scored the highest points in overall preference under sensory characteristics. As a result, it found that 80-second heating of 700 g bread dough, when exposed to microwave irradiation, contributed to the highest quality of bread.

Spin-coated waterborne polyurethane to protect glass surface from environmental attacks was cured by using microwave heating. The effect of microwave heating on the reaction kinetics, chemical durability, and transmittance of polyurethane was investigated. In comparison to the conventional heating the results show that the microwave heating substantially accelerates the curing process of waterborne polyurethane and the total time for the completion of the reaction is only 1/7 of that in the conventional process. The microwave cured sample showed an excellent caustic resistance compared to conventional cured one. It means that microwave heating produces dense structure during curing process. The dense structure does not affect to the transmittance in the visible region.

In order to promote an efficiency CPB process, we developed microwave system in CPB process. The whiteness and penetration ability of microwave-CPB pre-treated fabrics were superior to CPB only. This results indicates that microwave-CPB pre-treatment promotes CPB efficiency in agent usages and batching time.

Intending to develop a new rubber curing process using only microwave, the both the characteristics of cure and the mechanical properties of rubbers for the tire tread, for which a green styrene-butadiene compounds had been cured with 2.45 GHz microwave, have been compared with those of the custom thermal cured rubber. The unintentional hot spot formation in the compound during the microwave curing has not found where the compound has a microwave absorbing ceramic powders in 4.18 weight percents and the supplying voltage has been adjusted to 90 volts. The new microwave process accomplished preheating to 418K in a quarter of the thermal cure time. The average tensile strength of the microwave-cured rubber indicating $190kg/cm^3$ was compatible to that of the thermal cure. In conclusion, the new microwave cure had approved to be applicable in a commercial plant.

최근 생분해성 고분자 수지의 수요가 증가함에 따라 그의 원료인 호박산의 수요도 증가하고 있다. 일반적으로 호박산은 화학적 공정인 수소화 반응으로 합성된다. 합성된 호박산은 일정량의 수분을 함유되고 있으며 이를 제거하기 위한 건조공정으로는 열풍건조가 일반적으로 사용된다. 그러나 최근 건조시간 단축과 제품의 균일한 건조가 가능하다는 장점을 가진 마이크로파 건조공정이 각광받고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 건조공정에서 열풍건조와 마이크로파 건조 효율을 비교하였으며 마이크로파 건조 시 최적 조건을 찾아내어 가장 효율적인 호박산 건조 방법 및 운전조건을 확립하였다. 또한 호박산 건조공정에서 마이크로파건조의 상업적 적용가능성을 검토하였다. 실험결과 호박산 샘플의 두께가 1 cm일 때 마이크로파를 이용한 건조가 열풍건조보다 70%의 높은 효율을 확인하였다. 또한 마이크로파건조와 열풍건조 시 호박산의 완전건조까지 소비되는 전력량 검토를 통하여 경제적 효율성을 비교하였다.

Whole, peeled sweetpotatoes were subjected to four different processes: 15 min microwave heating followed by 15 min baking (1), 90 min baking (2), 15 min microwave heating (3), and 15 min boiling followed by 15 min microwave heating (4). Samples of green and cured roots were used in the study. Scanning electron photomicrographs revealed that cured roots contained larger numbers of starch granules in the parenchyma cells than green roots, most of them compounded. The starch in cooked green roots was gelatinized while for cured roots it was mostly hydrolyzed into dextrins and sugars. Starch in process (3) roots was mostly gelatinized while in process (1) and process (2) roots gelatinized starch appeared in little quantity, thus it was primarily converted to dextrins and sugars. The process (4) resulted in little conversion of starch. The process (1) product resulted in a similar product to the process (2) product.

Lignocellulosic biomass conversion to biofuels such as ethanol and other value-added bio-products including activated carbons has attracted much attention. The development of an efficient, cost-effective, and eco-friendly pretreatment process is a major challenge in lignocellulosic biomass to biofuel conversion. Although several modern pretreatment technologies have been introduced, few promising technologies have been reported. Microwave irradiation or microwave-assisted methods (physical and chemical) for pretreatment (disintegration) of biomass have been gaining popularity over the last few years owing to their high heating efficiency, lower energy requirements, and easy operation. Acid and alkali pretreatments assisted by microwave heating meanwhile have been widely used for different types of lignocellulosic biomass conversion. Additional advantages of microwave-based pretreatments include faster treatment time, selective processing, instantaneous control, and acceleration of the reaction rate. The present review provides insights into the current research and advantages of using microwave-assisted pretreatment technologies for the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to fermentable sugars in the process of cellulosic ethanol production.
