The Study of Manufacturing Thermal Insulation Materials Based on Inorganic Polymers under Microwave Exposure.

The work is devoted to the creation of an energy-saving microwave technology of composite materials for thermal insulation based on an inorganic polymer-liquid glass-and the establishment of the formation patterns of their structure and properties, depending on the parameters of microwave radiation. Due to volumetric heating and the mechanism of "non-thermal" action of microwave radiation on processed objects, the duration of their heating is significantly reduced, and the performance properties of products are improved due to the modification of the structure of the liquid glass matrix under the influence of its irradiation with this type of energy. In the course of the research, the relationship between the processing conditions and the obtained properties of heat-insulating materials was established.
