Ceramics from self-sustained reactions: Recent advances
Specific applications of self-sustained reactions to fabricate advanced ceramics, along with details such as synthesis conditions, mechanism of microstructure formation, and material properties, are overviewed. The latest achievements in the field include analysis of three such synthetic routes: reactive spark plasma sintering, combustion synthesis with mechanical stimulation, and solution combustion synthesis. Examples of fabrication of high-temperature nanostructured ceramics and composites, as well as non-equilibrium ceramic phases are also discussed.
