Possibilities of Using Microwave Radiation to Accelerate the Solidification of Mixtures Consisting of a Polymer Matrix Binder and a Waste Thermal Insulation Filler

Abstract

The presented work deals with the possibility of using the action of microwave energy on fresh mixtures consisting of a filler from waste thermal insulation expanded polystyrene and a binder from a polymer mixture to accelerate the time required for the mixture to solidify. The influence of microwave exposure time on thermal engineering material properties of mixtures was experimentally tested
