A coated susceptor of electromagnetic energy for chemical processing made of a
matrix material that surrounds a non-matrix material that is made from a material
that is different from the matrix material, in which the matrix material is constructed
of material having lower dielectric losses compared to the non-matrix material,
the non-matrix material initially absorbs electromagnetic energy applied to the
electromagnetic susceptor to a greater extent than the matrix material, the non-matrix
material produces subsequent heat in the matrix material, and the surface of the
susceptor is coated with a material that interacts with applied electromagnetic
energy of at least one frequency and initially absorbs electromagnetic energy and
produces heat.
