Abstract
A medium formed by a mixture of polymeric binder with conductive and semiconductive particles that can be coated or printed on a substrate to convert electromagnetic radiation to heat without arcing and produce increase heating of foods. Conversion efficiency can be controlled by the choice, thickness, pattern and amount of materials used in the medium. The medium can be used repeatedly without burn out. The conductive particles are typically aluminum, copper, zinc and nickel and the semiconductive particles are typically carbon, titanium carbide and zinc oxide.
