Current research has explored the benefits related to the potential use of microwave irradiation for the synthesis of advanced materials with the specific purpose of improving heating efficiency and accelerating processing of such materials . In particular, microwave heating systems generally use frequencies in the range of 900 MHz to 2.45 GHz . Studies aimed at optimizing the heating process with the use of microwaves began in the 1970s . Later in 1986, Giguere and Majerich reported rapid rates for certain organic reactions conducted in microwave reactors , establishing a relationship between the heating process and the dielectric properties . In chemistry, this exploitation of microwaves is referred to as microwave-assisted synthesis . Recent studies have been dedicated to understanding the nature of the phenomena surrounding microwaves such as the induced acceleration of the chemical reaction rate . This feature has increased the popular utility of other methods among various synthetic methods .
