Electromagnetic heating using nanomaterials and various potential applications

Electromagnetic heating (EMH) is a process of adsorbing electromagnetic wave energy by a material and converting it into heat. Nanomaterials can serve as novel susceptors in EMH due to the fine size that made them become heat sources from inside, as well as because of new heating mechanisms such as Neel relaxation by magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and localized surface plasmon resonance by metallic nanostructures.
