Microwave-heating characteristics of ferrite-particle-containing silicone

Abstract

In this paper, we quantified the permittivity and permeability of ferrite-particle-containing silicone using a perturbation method with a harmonic resonator and investigated whether the modified silicone can be used as a material for fabricating heating vessels for microwave ovens. The material constant varied depending on the compounding ratio of the obtained ferrite. From our simulation results using a microwave oven model, we confirmed that the container was well heated and that the food in the container was heated by the remaining energy.
