Microwave temperature control with conductively coated thermoplastic particles

Abstract

Microwave susceptors comprising conductively coated polymeric particles permit heating while avoiding overheating. Provided is a composition comprising a binder, a plurality of microwave-interactive particles dispersed therein; and a plurality of particles dispersed therein that have a microwave-interactive coating, said coating comprising a microwave interactive coating material capable of converting microwave energy to heat, wherein the coating is disposed upon or embedded within the surface of such particle.
