Preparation of ultra-thin metallic susceptor structures for electromagnetic induction heating of reactive polymer interphases

A single high magnetic field pulse of 60 T can be used to initiate chemical reactions between Bisphenol-A based Polycarbonate and Octadecylamine. Therefore, susceptor structures are needed for a localized heating of the interphase between the reactive polymer materials. As susceptors, stable gold structures were developed and produced by physical vapor deposition. The gold structures were characterized morphologically and electrically to optimize their heating efficiency.
