Numerical study of the thermal degradation of isotropic and anisotropic polymeric materials

“…However, since the thermal degradation of polymeric materials is governed by a set of two nonlinearly-coupled reaction-diffusion equations and is, therefore, governed by the same type of equations that characterize combustion, self-propagating high temperature synthesis, thermal autocatalysis, free-radical polymerization and epoxy curing processes [12][13][14][15][16][17], we present a general formulation which can also be applied to study these processes.…”

“…In Section 2, we present the equations governing the heat and mass transfer processes that occur in the curing of resins. The reaction kinetics employed in this section is rather simplified but contains the main ingredients that characterize combustion, self-propagating high temperature synthesis, thermal autocatalysis, solid combustion, free-radical polymerization and epoxy curing processes [12][13][14][15][16][17]. As a consequence, the formulation presented in the paper can be used to study a variety of processes different from the thermal degradation of polymeric materials considered in this paper.…”

Temperature-dependent Photoconductance and Optical Properties of In2O3 Thin Films Prepared by Autowave Oxidation

“…The autowave oxidation nature in the thin films was similar to the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) method for powders, that is now widely used for the production of new materials [21]. SHS products are high-quality compounds and are believed to contain fewer impurities than the original mixtures [21]. SHS can be performed in a wide range of materials including fine powders, liquids, gases and thin TCO films [11,22,23].…”

Combustion Synthesis of MoSi2-Al2O3 Composites from Thermite-Based Reagents

“…A variety of processing techniques, often with two or more in combination, including arc-melting and casting, mechanical alloying, hot pressing, reaction sintering, spark plasma sintering, combustion synthesis, and solid-state displacement reactions have been employed to fabricate transition metal silicides and composites on their basis [3][4][5]. Among these methods, combustion synthesis in the mode of self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) takes advantage of the highly exothermic reaction, and hence, has the merits of low energy requirement, short processing time, simplicity, high productivity, and a structural and functional diversity of final products [6][7][8].…”
