Greetings!
I'm interested in depositing a Line of fine copper powder on a plastic substrate. Due to Limitations of my situation, I want to explore the possibility of using tuned microwaves to fuse the copper particles to form a continuous conductive path. I'm aware microwaves bounce off metal. Is this a property of all microwave frequencies and Wavelengths or can I tune my magnetron to the resonant frequency of copper atoms like existing microwaves vibrate Hydrogen atoms in Water at their resonant frequency to heat the object?
Thanks,
