Abstract
DURING an investigation of the effects of microwave energy on organic reactions, a novel application of such radiation has been disclosed. One well-known difficulty in the examination of solid-state pyrolytic reactions is that, perforce, for each particle, the products move from the site of their production against a positive temperature gradient. For any sizable particle, therefore, the pyrolysate is subject to further decomposition and, in many cases, it is impossible to isolate the primary products.
