The Concise Encyclopedia of Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis: History, Theory, Technology, and Products helps students and scientists understand the fundamental concepts behind self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS). SHS-based technologies provide valuable alterations to traditional methods of material fabrication, such as powder metallurgy, conventional and force sintering, casting, extrusion, high isostatic pressure sintering, and others. The book captures the whole spectrum of the chemistry, physics, reactions, materials, and processes of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis.

This book is an indispensable resource not only to scientists working in the field of SHS, but also to researchers in multidisciplinary fields such as chemical engineering, metallurgy, material science, combustion, explosion, and the chemistry of solids.

Alphabetical sequence of 169 entries in the below subject areas:
Introduction and historical survey
Chemistry of combustion synthesis
Combustion synthesis reactions
Combustion synthesis materials
Processes at combustion synthesis
New phenomena in combustion synthesis
Graduate students and researchers in academia and industry working in the field of combustion chemistry and chemical engineering
Prof. Inna P. Borovinskaya is one of the authors of the scientific discovery “The phenomenon of wave localization of auto-inhibited solid phase reactions” (“The Phenomenon of Solid Flame”) which gave rise to the development of the scientific direction of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis. In 1987, together with the group headed by A.G. Merzhanov, she started working in the newly established Institute of Structural Macrokinetics and Materials Science (ISMAN). The laboratory of SHS problems and some other laboratories were transformed into the SHS Research Center headed by Prof. I.P. Borovinskaya. Her research interests include chemistry and experimental diagnostics of mechanisms of SHS processes, material science and technology of SHS products, and development of advanced inorganic materials. Among the remarkable results achieved by Prof. I.P. Borovinskaya and her co-authors during the fruitful work on the subject are those on combustion mechanism of metals in nitrogen, fundamental regularities in filtration combustion of porous solids in reactive gas, synthesis of nitrides (including new compounds and phases), new displays of unstable combustion, for example, front auto-oscillation and spin waves, chemical routes of SHS reactions, development of SHS technologies of simple and composite refractory compounds, production of nitride ceramics in SHS gas-static reactors, forced SHS densification of hard alloys, etc. Some of her results were realized on an industrial scale in Russia and abroad. Prof. I.P. Borovinskaya is the author of more than 200 scientific works and the holder of over 100 patents. She is a member of the Academic Council of ISMAN and some Academic Councils of other research institutes and a member of editorial boards of journals. She is an honorary professor of Wuhan Polytechnic Institute (1983) and Harbin Institute of Technology (1995). In 2002 she became an academician of the World Academy of Ceramics (WAC). In 1996 she was awarded the Natio
