Abstract

Microwave-assisted polymerizations such as radical polymerization, polycondensation, and cation polymerization have been numerously reported. Recently, researches on condensed polymers by microwave heating have been energetically conducted about not only basic synthesis research but also scale-up for a commercial process. This mini review focuses on microwave-assisted polyester and polyamide syntheses and describes our works to develop a 30 kg scale microwave reactor in anticipation of a commercial process.

Keywords: Microwave-assisted, polyester, polyamide, polycondensation, ring-opening polymerization, scale-up, radical polymerization, a commercial process
