DESCRIPTION:Dr. Guido Link\, Senior Scientist and Group Leader\, Microwave 
 Materials Processing Group Institute for Pulsed Power and Microwave Techno
 logy Karlsruhe Institute of Technology\, Karlsruhe\, GERMANY will speak on
  "Review on microwave materials processing at Karlsruhe Institute of Techn
 ology\, Germany" Abstract: As a spin-off from the R&D of high power microw
 ave sources for heating of magnetically confined plasmas in nuclear fusion
  reactors\, in 1993 at KIT activities related to materials processing have
  been started by use of a compact 30 GHz\, 15 kW gyrotron system. This sys
 tem has been intensively used for investigations of various potential indu
 strial applications like high temperature processing of functional and str
 uctural ceramics or glasses. Therefore the original system has been signif
 icantly improved with respect to heating uniformity by use for hexagonal\,
  highly overmoded applicator geometries and has been extended by developme
 nt of a hybrid heating module and a dilatometer module. Later on this conc
 ept has been adapted to large scale microwave batch kilns for applications
  at lower temperatures like drying\, annealing or curing of various materi
 als like ceramics\, polymers or fiber composites. This patented so called 
 HEPHAISTOS technology has been successfully transferred to industry. Furth
 ermore other single mode applicators have been developed for other specifi
 c applications. The presentation will give a short review of some of those
  microwave activities in the field of materials processing. Bio-sketch of 
 Dr. Guido Link: Dr. Link received the Dipl.-Phys. and Dr.rer.nat. degrees 
 in physics from the Technical University Karlsruhe\, Germany\, in 1990 and
  1993\, respectively. His diploma thesis was devoted to the high-temperatu
 re dependence of the dielectric p r o p e r t i e s of low-loss ceramic ma
  t e r i a l in the radio-frequency range. His graduate research w a s con
 cerned with the dielectric properties of ionic single crystals in the mill
 imeter-wave range at cryogenic temperatures. Since 1993\, he has been work
 ing in the field of millimeter-wave materials p r o c e s s i n g at Karls
 ruhe Institute of Technology\, Karlsruhe\, Germany. At present\, h e is wo
 rking as a group leader and senior scientist with t h e Microwave/ Millime
