Resumo

A model that describes the dissociation of a hydrogen bond in water clusters when irradiated by an electromagnetic field in the microwave range is proposed. The model is also applicable for the case of the rupture of the covalent bond of the water molecule in a cluster. If the energy absorption occurs at the interface of water and polymer clusters (e.g., DNA and chitosan), degradation of the polymer chain is possible.
