ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE ENERGY CONVERSION HEAT-GENERATING MATERIAL, HEATING CONTAINER FOR MICROWAVE OVEN, AND MICROWAVE OVEN

摘要

An electromagnetic wave energy conversion heat-generating material comprising zinc oxide whiskers used as a heat-generating material. A heating container for an electronic oven, comprising the zinc oxide whiskers, and an microwave oven (4) provided with a heat generator (1, 1 sec ) comprising the zinc oxide whiskers are also disclosed. The present electromagnetic wave energy conversion heat-generating material generates heat upon exposure to microwaves. In a preferred embodiment, the zinc oxide whiskers are comprised of a central part and needle crystal projections extending from said central part in plural, preferably four, different axial directions.
