Microwave interactive susceptors and methods of producing the same

摘要

Microwave interactive susceptors in end product condition or form are produced by a continuous in-line production method wherein, under continuous vacuum, a paper or board substrate is first coated with a thin film of monomer which is cured to a polymer, a metal or other microwave interactive susceptor material is vapor or sputter deposited onto the polymer film, either in an overall layer or preselected pattern, and a thin film monomer is deposited over the susceptor layer and cured or polymerized resulting in an end product ready for use without the previously required polyester substrate and without requiring lamination of a metallized film to a paper or board backing. Production of plural layers susceptors is also disclosed.
