Development of a Coal-like Material for Microwave Fracturing: Dielectric Characteristics, Thermal Response, and Mechanical Properties

Microwave-induced borehole fracturing of coal seams for pressure relief and permeability enhancement provides a novel approach for preventing coal and gas outburst disasters. However, large-sized natural coal samples suffer from sampling difficulties, complex processing, and poor repeatability, which restrict further r...
