ADDITIVES FOR THE USE OF MICROWAVE ENERGY TO SELECTIVELY HEAT THERMOPLASTIC POLYMER SYSTEMS

摘要

A microwave-sensitive thermoplastic composition that includes a microwave-receptive additive; and a thermoplastic polymer; wherein the microwave- receptive additive is selected from the group consisting of sepiolite clay, molecular sieves formed from ammonium ion salts or hydrogen ion salts, aluminophosphates, silicoaluminophasphates, silicotitanates, organo-modified clays, molecular sieves or zeolites having a caged organic microwave receptive material, and combinations thereof.
