Abstract
Experimental studies of the heating process of cured carbon, glass and organoplastics and their components placed in an ultra-high-frequency (UHF) electromagnetic field have been performed. It has been shown that the main influence on the kinetics of the process is exerted by the thermal and electrophysical properties of the filler, as well as the absorbed radiation power. The effect of exposure time is less pronounced and is described quite accurately by power functions. For an epoxy binder, this dependence is close to linear. It has been established that the heating of carbon plastic in the first minute of microwave exposure exceeds this indicator for glass and organoplastic by 35–38%, despite an almost 4 times lower level of absorption of radiation power. The fact of more intense microwave heating of aramid fabric and organoplastic than fiberglass, which is manifested in an almost 2 times greater dependence of the heating temperature on the absorbed radiation power, requires additional study and justification.
