This book summarizes the state of the art in combustion synthesis of advanced materials. It
is a first attempt to summarize and critically review in one monograph the mechanisms of …

Nanoscale metallic multilayers have been shown to have a wide range of outstanding
properties, which differ to a great extent from those observed in monolithic films. Their …

This review focuses on the properties of reactive materials (RMs) that enable exothermic
formation reactions and their application as local heat sources. We examine how the heat …

Multi material pairings like metal-plastic hybrid compounds are becoming increasingly
important across all industrial sectors. However, the substitution of metals by plastics leads …

In this work, heterogeneous nanocomposite reactions of Al/CuO, Al/Fe2O3 and Al/ZnO
systems were characterized using a recently developed T-Jump/time-of-flight mass …

High entropy alloy films of AlCoCrFeNi B2-ordered structure are formed during an ultrafast
heating process by reactive Ni/Al multilayers. The self-propagating high-temperature …
