Volume combustion synthesis materials synthesized

The volume combustion synthesis mode is used primarily for the synthesis of weakly exothermic systems. Various types of heaters, mostly commercially available furnaces, in addition to spiral coil and foil heaters, are used to preheat the sample up to the ignition point. To date, VCS synthesized materials have been produced only in laboratories, and no industrial or pilot production by this mode of synthesis has been reported. 

Another important factor in the direct synthesis of ceramic items is volume shrinkage during the combustion process. It is characteristic of the systems containing low-melting components or intermediate products. When used properly, this method makes it possible to synthesize materials and items valuable for practical application.
