Advanced Microwave Technology for Processing

Dear Colleagues,

Microwave processing represents a technology that can be applied to various domains, such as material sintering, waste treatment, materials joining, surface treatment and cleaning, and many more. However, microwave processing has proven to be unstable and to have a low rate of process reproducibility. In addition, thermal runaway phenomena must be studied in order to avoid damage to the materials. This Special Issue intends to address all these issues by publishing original scientific articles that can provide knowledge related to material processing in the field of microwaves. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Microwave heating mechanism;
• Thermal runaway phenomenon;
• Modeling and simulation of thermal field;
• Modeling and simulation of electrical field at microwave heating;
• Microwave soldering, microwave–plasma welding;
• Surface treatment in microwave field;

Domestic and industrial waste treatment/incineration in microwave field.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
