Controlled Bulk Synthesis of Composites

Abstract

The paper considers the controlled bulk synthesis of composite in a cylindrical reactor with regard to the main control parameters, including the temperature distribution over the reactor volume, different properties of reagent and reactor, and two combined synthesis stages. The first stage is exothermal synthesis of oxide inclusions and the second is the matrix formation. It is shown that for special cases of the controlled synthesis, nearly adiabatic conditions can be created as well as a standard thermal explosion in the conditions of heat exchange with the environment, the dynamic initiation of reaction at various heat rates, and a synthesis in cooling conditions with the formation of a non-uniform composition. The synthesis process is implemented in the experimental conditions.
