Microwave Device for Termal Treatment of Cellulose Matetials

Planar microwave (MW) device was constructed, tested and patented for thermal treatment of cellulose material (textile and wood). Applied traveling wave applicator includes meander waveguide with central slots through which is material horizontally passed in a wide state. Possibility of device application was tested on cellulose materials impregnated with different finishes. Obtained effects of microwave treatment were compared with conventional drying and curing method. Improvement of physical and mechanical properties obtained with MW technology have offered the possibility to use proposed model for drying and curing of textiles, as well as for chemical wood modification.
