## Abstract In this work, a very simple and accurate model for the microwave‐assisted drying of laminar bodies, based on their dielectric properties, is developed and tested over a laminar material such as leather. Several assumptions are made to simplify the obtained expressions. The results show

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
The microwave‐assisted drying of laminar materials has been studied, and a model is proposed to explain the behavior of these materials under microwave radiation. Different selective heating and drying tests of leather samples have been carried out, and drying curves showed a fast convergence as a proof of this effect. The obtained results look promising for applying this technique on an industrial scale. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 30: 165–168, 2001.

## Abstract In this work, the efficiency of a static microwave‐assisted dryer for laminar materials is studied. Drying tests, carried out in this drier with leather samples, show that the application of the microwave energy significantly accelerates the drying rates without damaging the product. En
The rising popularity of microwaves for drying, material processing and quality sensing has fuelled the need for knowledge concerning dielectric properties of common pharmaceutical materials. This article represents one of the few reports on the density and moisture content dependence of the dielect
A potential no-flow (compression filling of encapsulant) underfill encapsulant for simultaneous solder joint reflow and underfill cure has been reported by the authors. The encapsulant is based on a cycloaliphatic epoxy/organic anhydride/Co(II) acetylacetonate system. The key of this no-flow encapsu
