Combustion synthesis covers a wide range of technologies to produce advanced materials ranging from oxides nitrides and intermetallics to various nanostructured compounds such as nanopowders and carbon nano tubes (CNT). This eBook with contributions from leading experts in industry and academia provides an up-to-date overview about combustion synthesis. A comparison to conventional methods as well as a description of analytical techniques is given alongside the description of special techniques such as microwave or electrical field assistance. Aspects such as historic development and scale-up make this book a concise yet comprehensive review about combustion synthesis. This book should be useful for scientists engineers and practitioners working in materials science and related fields.
