The possibilities of using microwave radiation to accelerate the solidification of mixtures consisting of a polymer matrix binder and a waste thermal insulation filler

The presented article deals with the possibility of using the application of microwave radiation on fresh mixtures, consisting of a filler made of waste thermal insulation expanded polystyrene and a binder made of a polymer mixture, to accelerate the time required for the mixture to solidify. It also presents an experimental study, where the influence of the microwave exposure time on thermal protection material properties of the mixtures is tested.
