E-Book Overview

<STRONG><EM>Exposes a Powerful Material-Making Tool

Dedicated to the physical, chemical, and structural transformations that take place during combustion synthesis (CS) of advanced materials, <STRONG>Combustion for Material Synthesis analyzes the nature of solid flame phenomenon and provides readers with undisputed proof that ‘fire’ is a powerful tool used in making materials. Of interest to specialists in the field of materials engineering, this book explores the physical and chemical principles of synthesis of materials in the self-sustained combustion mode. It describes mechanisms for a variety of solid–solid and gas–solid reactions and examines structure and properties of different materials produced by CS.

The authors discuss a wide range of topics, including phenomenology, theory, experimental methods and observations, as well as properties of the product synthesized and approaches for large-scale materials production using the combustion synthesis technique. They examine conventional concepts and present recent breakthroughs in the field of materials synthesis by rapid self-sustained reactions that include fabrication of different nanomaterials. They compare CS with other methods, factoring in different types of combustion processes, including processes that can occur in a vacuum, inert gas, or oxygen-free atmosphere.

Covering research on topics that have been around for a while, but not widely circulated, this work:

  • Outlines in detail both fundamental aspects of CS, including modern theoretical approaches and advanced in situ experimental methods
  • Examines the advantages and disadvantages, achievements, and challenges remained in heterogeneous combustion used for material synthesis
  • Explores the emergence of a new fundamental direction in material science, i.e., structural macrokinetics
  • Details new technologies that are based on fundamental scientific discoveries and innovative scientific ideas
  • Analyzes structure and properties of variety of CS materials, including nanomaterials

Authored by world-recognized specialists in the field of combustion synthesis for advanced materials, <STRONG>Combustion for Material Synthesis presents the state of the art in R&D in the field of CS, focusing on the fabrication of novel materials. It is intended for researchers, engineers, and graduate students from different disciplines and is also suggested as recommended reading for materials science courses.
