Abstract

Recently, special behavior of interfacial tension during and after microwave irradiation was found. To understand the behavior in more details, microwave irradiation pattern was changed in this study. Higher power and longer irradiation time, which do not cause the boiling at the interface, are better for the reduction of interfacial tension and irradiation retention. Accordingly, the quick thermal response of microwave is essential for modification of interface compared to the conventional heating. In this way, interfacial tension does not return quickly to the original value, and effect of the reduction slowly disappeared for a few weeks.
