Microwave heating technique has attracted considerable attention for the
processing of various materials such as ceramics, glasses, polymers, composites and
even metals. Researchers are trying to apply this technology to new areas. The present
review presents a short overview of some recent applications of conventional and/ or
microwave processing for the synthesis of novel ceramics and glass-ceramics.
Keywords: Ceramics, Glass-ceramics, Microwave heating, Conventional heating.
